Yes. # mv ../a ../xx # /bin/pwd Basically you have three choices, (a) check whether $PWD points to the current directory, (b) reconstruct the current path by walking up and "readdir()" on each level, (c) ask the kernel. In order to make some interesting attacks via symlinks more difficult, (b) is somewhat safer. However, it's also significantly more expensive. (c) works on Linux, just readlink("/proc/self/cwd"); it's equivalent to (b). I don't know whether OpenBSD can do that, though. -- -- Matthias Urlichs _______________________________________________ WireGuard mailing list WireGuard@lists.zx2c4.com https://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/wireguard
