    Description

      cd /d D:\temp
      mklink link ..\path\target
      #include <QDebug>
      #include <QFileInfo>
      
      int main()
      {
          QFileInfo fi("D:/temp/link");
          qDebug() << fi.symLinkTarget(); // ../path/target
          return 0;
      }

      According to the documentation, the path should be absolute.
