Hi, I've came across an oddity in devfs. The size of a symlink is the length of the "symbolic name", not the one of the target. Consider: $ ls -la /dev/ | grep ^l lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 13 Feb 16:01 dvd_at_ -> acd0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 13 Feb 17:01 kbd0_at_ -> atkbd0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 13 Feb 16:01 log_at_ -> /var/run/log lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 13 Feb 17:01 net1_at_ -> net/fxp0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 13 Feb 17:01 net2_at_ -> net/lo0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 13 Feb 16:02 net3_at_ -> net/ndis0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 13 Feb 17:01 stderr_at_ -> fd/2 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 13 Feb 17:01 stdin_at_ -> fd/0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 13 Feb 17:01 stdout_at_ -> fd/1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 13 Feb 17:01 urandom_at_ -> random against: $ ls -l /sys lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 13 Feb 12:12 /sys_at_ -> usr/src/sys Is this considered a bug or a feature? :-) regards, le -- Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl_at_univie.ac.at UNIX Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Vienna University Computer Center Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 University of Vienna http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/Received on Fri Feb 13 2004 - 07:49:57 UTC
