1 | Tired of running into "Too many levels of symlinks" problems on |
| 2 | your 4.2 BSD derivitive machine? | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | We sure did... our NFS'ed network of lots of Suns, Vaxen and so forth | |
| 5 | made it impossible at times to trace down where a file REALLY lived. | |
| 6 | I mean ls -l is nice, but wouldn't you like to follow things like | |
| 7 | the namei routine in the kernel does? | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Well here it is.... the namei program. It follows things out until | |
| 10 | a terminal state is found. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | This program compiles and runs under: | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | SunOS 4.0.1 (sun3's) | |
| 15 | SunOS 4.0.3 (sun4's) | |
| 16 | SunOS 4.1.1 (sun4's) | |
| 17 | Ultrix 3.1 | |
| 18 | BSD 4.3 | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | and probably a host of other 4.2 derived systems (but probably not | |
| 21 | System V). | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Anyway, if anyone has any bugs (or enhancements), please send them to | |
| 24 | me in E-mail form. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | And, by the way, if you make LOTS of money off of this program, please | |
| 27 | don't tell me :-). | |
