How to create a Junction Point using WinApi?

Question

There is CreateHardLink function to create Hardlinks.(Since Win2000)
And there is CreateSymbolicLink function since Vista has been released.

But why isn't there a CreateJunction?

How does mklink make a junction?
And How do I write codes to make junction in my app?
