Hi there,

I'm currently implementing a complete 9P file/server stack from
scratch for Unix. I used to connect to acme fileserver for testing my
client implementation. But I ran into a question, which isn't answered
in the manual pages, concerning reading directory contents.

I established a valid connection to the acme server using Tversion,
and Tattach afterwards. Then I tryed two different ways to read the
root directory contents:

1) Topen with root fid and Tread with root fid

This worked as expected

2) Just Tread with root fid

This worked also the same, but I didn't expected that it is possible
to read directory contents without preparing the fid for I/O through
Topen.

Anyone can tell me if this is intended and why?

Regards,
