Subject: [Caml-list] Unix.stat problem
Date: 24 May 2004 15:56:05 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1085378165.6065.249.camel@pelican.wigram> (raw)
Unix.stat (or my brain:) isn't working correctly on my system:
CVS Ocaml, Linux, Redhat 9:
gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
When I stat a symbolic link which is a directory,
it is returning S_DIR as the kind. This is wrong,
the name is a link, it should return S_LNK.
Consequently it is impossible to make a directory
tree (because I have a stupid directory containing
a link to itself, namely /usr/include/gnome-xml/libxml
However 'ls' has no problem, it knows it is a symbolic link:
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 800 Jan 25 2003 HTMLtree.h
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 Jan 9 20:06 libxml -> ./
Please tell me if you know a workaround, if this really
is a bug (in which case I'll file a report in the bug tracker),
or if I'm just missing something ..
