NTFS Documentation: Symbolic Link Attribute

Interest

NTFS doesn't manage POSIX symbolic links. Neithertheless, this file attribute let us think that NTFS will manage symbolic links (or reparse point, in Microsoft terminology) in Windows NT® 5.0, like all modern Unix® filesystems (e.g. Ext2, the Linux filesystem) do.

Questions

What is the role and the layout of the stream of this file attribute?
