When I execute dir \al (Attribute: Reparse Points), I get a result that lists reparse points. The following output is easy enough to understand with columns being Date Modified, Time Modified, Dir Type (empty if it's a file), File Size in bytes (empty if it's a directory), and Reparse Point Link [Reparse Point Target]

Directory of X:\Desktop\***

2013/10/17  10:07  <JUNCTION>    Application Data [C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming]

However the following result shows [Reparse Point Target] of [...] but what does it mean? (Side Note: bin seems to be a File when viewed through Windows' File Explorer.)

Directory of X:\Desktop\***\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu22.04LTS_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs

2022/04/23  11:08  <JUNCTION>    bin [...]

I am trying to figure what it means but where can I find a documentation for deciphering the output of Windows' dir command? The Microsoft's documentation for dir (Docs / Windows Server / Windows Commands / Reference / dir) doesn't help much.

Lastly is the following output result of dir \al (Attribute: Reparse Points), for a Hard Link file?

Directory of X:\Desktop\***\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu22.04LTS_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\dev
