Subject: stat() fails = do lstat()?
Date: Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020, 15:30:58

how is fiend expected to respond to the different errno numbers when stat fails?

if stat() fails, do we always check lstat()? I am specifically looking at the Tango file in the Root file. I notice that for this file, I get an error with stat() but not lstat() but it seems like the /c/cs323/Hwk1/fiend does not throw an error regardless of whether it is a -L or -P tag.
