Tired of running into "Too many levels of symlinks" problems on
|
|
your 4.2 BSD derivitive machine?
|
|
|
|
We sure did... our NFS'ed network of lots of Suns, Vaxen and so forth
|
|
made it impossible at times to trace down where a file REALLY lived.
|
|
I mean ls -l is nice, but wouldn't you like to follow things like
|
|
the namei routine in the kernel does?
|
|
|
|
Well here it is.... the namei program. It follows things out until
|
|
a terminal state is found.
|
|
|
|
This program compiles and runs under:
|
|
|
|
SunOS 4.0.1 (sun3's)
|
|
SunOS 4.0.3 (sun4's)
|
|
SunOS 4.1.1 (sun4's)
|
|
Ultrix 3.1
|
|
BSD 4.3
|
|
|
|
and probably a host of other 4.2 derived systems (but probably not
|
|
System V).
|
|
|
|
Anyway, if anyone has any bugs (or enhancements), please send them to
|
|
me in E-mail form.
|
|
|
|
And, by the way, if you make LOTS of money off of this program, please
|
|
don't tell me :-).
