A svn branch is a full copy of trunk files or just a link?

I mean what is the svn branch working principle.

When I create a branch, is there a real copy opertion accuring on the svn server, or just something like a file link is created?

Somebody knows this or maybe a little can give me a hand by own words, a book about svn or a website link.

Thank you.

Subversion uses cheap copies. You can consider copy / branch or tag as a link. See Cheap Copies section in SVNBook | Using Branches.
