I suppose it's for "pg_replslot" - but it forgot about the "/". MAXPGPATH isn't sufficient (even if you add 12), since it's a user-supplied string. snprintf keeps it from overflowing the buffer, but its return value isn't checked, so it could (hypothetically) return a result for the wrong slot, if the slot name were very long, or MAXPGPATH were very short.. + text *filename_t = PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP(0); > I think we need to do some additional input validation here.

Actually, limiting the dir seems like a valid reason to add this function, since it would allow GRANTing privileges for just those directories. So now I agree that this patch should be included. But I suggest to add it after my "ls" patches, which change the output fields, and include directories. Directories might normally not be present, but an extension might put them there. (And it may be important to show things that aren't supposed to be there, too). -- Justin
