It seems Path Symlink features are missing, which are available in Java 8 nio
Maybe using File underneath is not the correct way forward. If not using Path from Java 8 nio a lot needs to be written from scratch, not sure what to do about other platforms.

Hey! Symbolic and hard links support is indeed missing. There's a plan to overhaul existing files and filesystem API (#241) and, perhaps, support links on all platforms.

Do you have a particular use case in mind where explicit symlinks support is necessary, or at least would be helpful?

This feature is essential for termux and filemanager like apps, where the app interacts on the system level.
