symlink

I don't see any options for the FSPathMoveObjectToTrashSync() function for not following links. Here is what I have tried Create a link and a file [ 21:32:41 /tmp ] $ touch my_file [ 21:32:45 /tmp ] $ ln -s my_file my_link [ 21:32:52 /tmp ] $ la total 8 drwxrwxrwt 12 root wheel 408 17 Maj 21:32 . drwxr-xr-x@ 6 root wheel 204 9 Sep 2009 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 neoneye wheel 0 17 Maj 21:32 my_file lrwxr-xr-x 1 neoneye wheel 7 17 Maj 21:32 my_link -> my_file Move the link to the trash OSStatus status = FSPathMoveObjectToTrashSync( "/tmp/my_link", NULL, kFSFileOperationDefaultOptions ); NSLog(@"status: %i

I'm writing a LKM and need to find out where a specific symlink is pointing to. Basically I need the functionality of the syscall readlinkat (or readlink ) but in kernel-space. Is there an easy way to do this? Using readlinkat directly is not working for me, I'm always getting EFAULT (I guess this is because my buffer is obviously in kernel memory space and not in user-space). Firstly, you can't use user space system calls( readlinkat() or readlink() ) directly in your kernel module. Rather you need to use exported function / symbol within the kernel space. Next, may want to look into the

Wow, I've never really used symlinks that much before, but this is really boggling: bash-3.2$ echo "weird" > original.txt bash-3.2$ mkdir originals bash-3.2$ mv original.txt originals/ bash-3.2$ cat originals/original.txt weird bash-3.2$ mkdir copies bash-3.2$ ln -s originals/original.txt copies/copy.txt bash-3.2$ cat copies/copy.txt cat: copies/copy.txt: No such file or directory bash-3.2$ ls copies/copy.txt copies/copy.txt bash-3.2$ ls -l copies/copy.txt lrwxr-xr-x 1 zach staff 22 Dec 22 01:23 copies/copy.txt -> originals/original.txt bash-3.2$ cat originals/original.txt weird bash-3.2$ cat

Is there a way to make git completely ignore symlinks (leave them in the tree, but not create them on checkout)? Alternatively, is there a way to make git convert between symlinks on linux and shortcuts on windows? Context: I'm using git with some LaTeX files on both windows and linux. On linux, I have a large number of style files stored outside the repo, and symlinked to from a bunch of places. It'll work fine if git turns them into shortcuts on windows (I have the same surrounding directory/file structure), or if git ignores them completely, and doesn't check them out (I have the style

So while in my IIS root directory (c:\inetpub\wwwroot) I've created a symlink to a network drive using: mdlink /D truthuniversal "U:\Truth Universal Full Site\public" The symlink was created just fine, and if I issue the cd truthuniversal command, while in the IIS root dir, I do indeed end up in the "U:\Truth Universal Full Site\public" directory area. My problem is that when I type: http://localhost/truthuniversal in my browser's address bar IIS does not serve the index page which resides in the public directory. Instead, I get the following error: Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB
