Manage symbol links

You can create a symbol link that directs to the current version of the target object.

You can run the following code to create a symbol link:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "strings"
  "github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)

func main() {
  // Creates an OSSClient instance.
  client, err := oss.New("<yourEndpoint>", "<yourAccessKeyId>", "<yourAccessKeySecret>")
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    os.Exit(-1)
  }

  bucketName := "<yourBucketName>"
  // Specifies the target object.
  objectName := "<yourSymlinkName>"
  // Specifies the symbol link that directs to the target object.
  targetObjectName := "<yourSymlinkTargetName>"

  // Obtains the bucket.
  bucket, err := client.Bucket(bucketName)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    os.Exit(-1)
  }

  // Uploads the object to the target object.
  err = bucket.PutObject(targetObjectName, strings.NewReader("target"))
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    os.Exit(-1)
  }

  // Creates a symbol link and obtains the version ID of the symbol link.
  var retHeader http.Header
  err = bucket.PutSymlink(objectName, targetObjectName, oss.GetResponseHeader(&retHeader))
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    os.Exit(-1)
  }
  // Prints x-oss-version-id.
  fmt.Println("x-oss-version-id:", oss.GetVersionId(retHeader))
}

GetSymlink obtains the current version of the target symbol link by default. You can specify the versionId in the request to obtain the specified version of a symbol link. If the current version of the target symbol link is a delete marker, OSS returns the 404 Not Found error and includes x-oss-delete-marker = true and x-oss-version-id in the response header.

You can run the following code to obtain a symbol link:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "strings"
  "github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)

func main() {
  // Creates an OSSClient instance.
  client, err := oss.New("<yourEndpoint>", "<yourAccessKeyId>", "<yourAccessKeySecret>")
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    os.Exit(-1)
  }

  bucketName := "<yourBucketName>"
  // Specifies the target object.
  objectName := "<yourSymlinkName>"

  // Obtains the bucket.
  bucket, err := client.Bucket(bucketName)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    os.Exit(-1)
  }

  // Obtains the content of the object that the specified version of the symbol link directs to.
  meta, err := bucket.GetSymlink(objectName,oss.VersionId("youObjectVersionId"))
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    os.Exit(-1)
  }

  // Prints the symbol link.
  fmt.Println(meta.Get(oss.HTTPHeaderOssSymlinkTarget))
}
