* pg_basebackup man-page confusion?

The pg_basebackup man page
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/app-pgbasebackup.html; says: "Only
regular files and directories are allowed in the data directory, no
symbolic links or special device files."
But when I look in /data/postgres/main/pg_tblspc, all of the files are
symbolic links.
Thanks,
Craig

It's a bit imprecise. I think you will find this language improved in
the PostgreSQL 9.4 man page:
