  Check Options:
  -r        recurse into sub-folders
  -v        print extra information about links

  -n (path)          name of link file (defaults to 'target file name'.lnk)
  -c (text)          comment

  -i (path) [index]  path to .ico file or .dll/.exe. index defaults to 0
  -f                 force create even if target doesn't exist

Notes

I came accross this gem while searching for information oniline - MS-SHLLINK: Shell Link (.LNK) Binary File Format.

Maybe a future version of this tool could expose a way to create lnk files directly using the published format instead of the win32 api.
