+	bbdoc: Enables or disables following of symbolic links.
+	about: Some physical filesystems and archives contain files that are just pointers
+	to other files. On the physical filesystem, opening such a link will
+	(transparently) open the file that is pointed to.
+
+	By default, MaxIO will check if a file is really a symlink during open
+	calls and fail if it is. Otherwise, the link could take you outside the
+	write and search paths, and compromise security.
+
+	If you want to take that risk, call this function with a non-zero parameter.
+	Note that this is more for sandboxing a program's scripting language, in
+	case untrusted scripts try to compromise the system. Generally speaking,
+	a user could very well have a legitimate reason to set up a symlink, so
+	unless you feel there's a specific danger in allowing them, you should
+	permit them.
+
+	Symlinks are only explicitly checked when dealing with filenames
+	in platform-independent notation. That is, when setting up your
+	search and write paths, etc, symlinks are never checked for.
+
+	Please note that #Stat() will always check the path specified; if
+	that path is a symlink, it will not be followed in any case. If symlinks
+	aren't permitted through this function, #Stat() ignores them, and
+	would treat the query as if the path didn't exist at all.
+
+	Symbolic link permission can be enabled or disabled at any time after
+	you've called #Init(), and is disabled by default.
