On Windows it makes the function return the print name of the link -- the target path as it was specified when the link was created.

The print name is optional --
[MS-FSCC]only says that it SHOULD be set, and PowerShell'sNew-Item -ItemType Junctiondoes not set one -- so the substitute name is returned for a link which has none. Converting the\??\prefix to\\?\is skipped for the print name, which is not in the NT namespace. On non-Windows platforms the parameter is ignored, as a POSIX symlink has only one target path.
