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