What does Symlink Unity Libraries do?

What does Symlink Unity Libraries mean and do? It's found as a checkbox in build settings. I would be happy with a little better description than the reference currently provide.

  • What is it for?
  • Why would I use it?
  • Why wouldn't I use it?

After IRC discussions it seems that symlinking is simply avoiding copying unity libraries to the device for quicker testing cycles. Instead, a sort of shortcut to the file is being made. So you would use it while developing to minimize transfer times to the device for efficient work flow.

Note: This is based on some guesswork and doesn't have any guarantees to be true.
