The parameters are:

• srcPath: A string that specifies the source of the symlink file.
• destPath: A string that specifies the destination of the symlink file.
• type: A string that specifies the type of symlink. It is optional and can take either "dir", "file", or "junction" as values.
• callback: A function that will be called once the symlink creation is done. It is used to handle any errors that may occur during the process.

Here's an example code snippet:

index.tsx
const fse = require('fs-extra');

const srcPath = '/path/to/source/file.txt';
const destPath = '/path/to/destination/link.txt';
const type = 'file';

fse.ensureSymlink(srcPath, destPath, type, (err) => {
  if (err) console.error(err);
  else console.log('Symlink created successfully!');
});

This code creates a symlink from the source file /path/to/source/file.txt to the destination link file /path/to/destination/link.txt. The type of symlink is specified as a "file". If an error occurs, it will be logged to the console. If the symlink is created successfully, a success message will be logged to the console.
