The first usage is for displaying reparse point information, and the
second usage is for creating or deleting a NTFS junction point:
usage: junction [-s] [-q] <file or directory>
-q Don't print error messages (quiet)
-s Recurse subdirectories
usage: junction [-d] <junction directory> [<junction target>]
-d Delete the specified junction
example: junction d:\link c:\winntThis is most commonly required and useful when you use SubVersion (SVN) or CVS or any other version control software.
