Hello.
I'm trying to work out how tests/ls/follow-slink from fileutils 4.1 can
pass/fail, in particular the command:
ls -L link 2> /dev/null && fail=1
This dereferences the link 'link'. It seems this 'ls' command is expected to
fail - presumably because the link is cyclic and some function will return
ELOOP.
'link' is a cyclic symlink created like this:
ln -s link link || framework_failure=1
In the DJGPP port of 'ln', this does nothing. No symlink is created - this is
due to the DJGPP libc implementation of symlink(). So the 'ls -L' command
fails and the test passes.
Perhaps the test should do something like this?
ln -s link link || framework_failure=1
test -f link || framework_failure=1
Thanks, bye, Rich =]
PS: tests/ls/follow-slink from fileutils 4.1 is the same as in coreutils
4.5.3.
