-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been trying to use lutimes and utimensat(,AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) to play with symlink timestamps. mtime can be modified just fine, but atime changes are lost the moment you lstat() the symlink again (probably because path.cc opens the symlink file during path resolution to read its contents and confirm it is a symlink). POSIX states that readlink() changes the atime of a symlink, but not lstat(). Is there a way to make path.cc resolution behave as if O_NOATIME were in effect for symlink resolution, so that lstat() and path resolution leaves symlink times alone, and only an explicit readlink() or lutimes() will adjust atime on symlinks?
