/**
 * This filter accepts {@link File}s that are symbolic links.
 * 
 * For example, here is how to print out a list of the real files
 * within the current directory:
 * 
 * Using Classic IO
 *  * File dir = FileUtils.current();
 * String[] files = dir.list(SymbolicLinkFileFilter.INSTANCE);
 * for (String file : files) {
 *     System.out.println(file);
 * }
 * 
 *
 * Using NIO
 *  * final Path dir = PathUtils.current();
 * final AccumulatorPathVisitor visitor = AccumulatorPathVisitor.withLongCounters(SymbolicLinkFileFilter.INSTANCE);
 * //
 * // Walk one dir
 * Files.walkFileTree(dir, Collections.emptySet(), 1, visitor);
 * System.out.println(visitor.getPathCounters());
 * System.out.println(visitor.getFileList());
 * //
 * visitor.getPathCounters().reset();
 * //
 * // Walk dir tree
 * Files.walkFileTree(dir, visitor);
 * System.out.println(visitor.getPathCounters());
 * System.out.println(visitor.getDirList());
 * System.out.println(visitor.getFileList());
 * 
 * Deprecating Serialization
 * 
 * Serialization is deprecated and will be removed in 3.0.
 *

 * @since 2.11.0

     * Note to developers: The unit test needs to create symbolic links to files. However, on
     * Windows, this can't be done without admin privileges. This class is designed to allow a
     * unit test to works around this by doing two things: 1) This separates the class logic from
     * the call to identify a symbolic link, and 2) It allows the unit test to override that
     * symbolic link call on Windows only.
     * This means we can write unit tests will run on all machines. On Windows, the unit test
     * can't create a symbolic link without admin privileges, so the unit tests won't
     * completely test all the necessary behavior on Windows, but they will still test the class
     * logic. Be careful not to break this, but be aware of it when writing unit tests. You can
     * still maintain this class and its unit tests on Windows. The one method that won't get
     * tested on Windows is not likely to change, and will be tested properly when it gets run
     * on Apache servers.
