given BOINC data directory.
Note: update-boinc-applinks is an extension for Debian users and is only available in Debian's boinc-client package.

For a full summary of options, run update-boinc-applinks --help.
-h, --help
Show help message and all options.
--create
Create symbolic links and project directories.
--remove
Remove symbolic links and empty project directories.
--data-dir=DIR
Manage symbolic links in the given directory DIR. If this option is not present, DIR defaults to the current working directory.
--project=PROJECT
Manage symbolic links only for the given project PROJECT. Run update-boinc-applinks --list-projects to get a list of projects for
