Hello Stefan,
Yes, you are right. Using realpath() is a workaround for supporting
symlinks, as long as they point to a path starting with /dev/sg. I
will remove this reference in the revised version of this patch.
However, it still holds that determining whether a filename is an SG
device or not

So I suggest we go with the submitted patch taking into account Eric's
proposal: The code first stat()s the given filename to ensure it is a
character device node, and then it issues the SG_GET_VERSION_NUM and
SG_GET_SCSI_ID
