why isn't /dev a more "usual" directory? cd /dev, ls /dev all fail, while cat /dev/clipboard works.
No one has implemented the special handling required for /dev which would enable things like opendir/readdir or cd to work.
Thanks, I guessed that much. I also know about "PTC".
(fhandler_proc.cc is too long,
I guess fhandler_dev.cc would be just as long, and I suspect that fhandler_dev.cc is not the only this missing).
My plan was for /dev to go away as a special mount. Now that mknod works, this is more doable than it was in 2002.
Could you please elaborate? are you saying that "/dev/" will go away altogether? where will /dev/clipboard reside?
he meant: mkdir /dev and populate that with your favorite mknod initializer. igor posted one some months ago.
BTW: colinux uses /dev/cobd<n> I'd really like to try to mount this beast in cygwin also. (mke2fs => ddk as in colinux) - Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/
