Subject: Trailing slash makes symlink appear to be directory
Date: Thursday, 17 Sep 2020, 01:21:04
Hi Professor, I am a bit confused as to how to handle a filename such as: /c/cs323/Hwk1/Tests/Root/bravo/hotel/, which is a symbolic link. Because of the trailing slash, however, if I run stat /c/cs323/Hwk1/Tests/Root/bravo/hotel/, it shows that it is a directory. Thus, something like S_ISLNK(buf.st_mode) will not return that it is a symbolic link. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!PREV INDEX NEXT
