It is only available on macOS and tends to perform slower than `clonefile`. - **`copyfile`**: The fallback used when any of the above fail. It is the slowest option. On macOS, it uses `fcopyfile()`; on Linux it uses `copy_file_range()`. - **`symlink`**: Currently used only `file:` (and eventually `link:`) dependencies.

To prevent infinite loops, it skips symlinking the `node_modules` folder. If you install with `--backend=symlink`, Node.js won't resolve node_modules of dependencies unless each dependency has its own `node_modules` folder or you pass `--preserve-symlinks` to `node`.
