//  If file exists, populates properties. CZMQ supports portable symbolic
//  links, which are files with the extension ".ln". A symbolic link is a
//  text file containing one line, the filename of a target file. Reading
//  data from the symbolic link actually reads from the target file. Path
//  may be NULL, in which case it is not used.
