+            directories.
 
             Anything other than those values will be considered to be a symlink.
             For instance, the following text creates a link::
                 
                 # Useful on solaris
                 file { \"/etc/inetd.conf\":
                     ensure => \"/etc/inet/inetd.conf\"
                 }
             
             You can make relative links::
                 
                 # Useful on solaris
                 file { \"/etc/inetd.conf\":
                     ensure => \"inet/inetd.conf\"
                 }
 
             If you need to make a relative link to a file named the same
             as one of the valid values, you must prefix it with ``./`` or
             something similar.
 
             You can also make recursive symlinks, which will create a
             directory structure that maps to the target directory,
             with directories corresponding to each directory
             and links corresponding to each file."
