Hi,
I have a problem with either understanding the C function stat or with
cygwin.
When I run stat from the console I get this:
File: `Lessdox' -> `/usr/X11R6/share/doc/lesstif-0.94.4/html'
Size: 40 Blocks: 1 IO Block: 1024 symbolic link
Device: e491f35dh/3834770269d Inode: 1125899906895407 Links: 1
Access: (0777/lrwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 1005/ Erich) Gid: ( 545/Utilisateurs)
Access: 2007-06-26 07:42:49.979648000 +0400
Modify: 2007-04-27 16:52:21.254708800 +0400
Change: 2007-04-27 16:52:21.254708800 +0400
When I run this little C++ program:
PRIVATE VOID StatLessdox (VOID)
BEGIN
struct stat Stat;
IF (stat ("/usr/X11R6/share/doc/lesstif-0.94.4/html/Lessdox", &Stat)
== 0) THEN
printf ("Mode: %lX\n", (unsigned long) Stat.st_mode);
IF (S_ISDIR (Stat.st_mode)) THEN
printf ("Directory flag is set.\n");
END;
IF (S_ISREG (Stat.st_mode)) THEN
printf ("Is a regular file.\n");
END;
IF (S_ISLNK (Stat.st_mode)) THEN
printf ("Link flag is set.\n");
END;
END;
END;
I get this:
Mode: 41F8
Directory flag is set.
I do not get the message 'Link flag is set.'
Why is Lessdox not recognised as a link here?
I run cygwin as current of last week.
Erich
