Yes.  Existing links won't be overwritten by link() or symlink().

It appears (?) unlink is the unique way to replace the link of a symlink : unlink followed by a new
symlink ?
Is that right ?

> In "see also" section, you should add "unlink"

Why?  unlink() is not particularly related to symlink and/or
hardlinks.

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/function.is-link
(and symlink, link, linkinfo, readlink)
---
In "see also" section, you should add "unlink"
Best regards
