Hi,
Is there a function in SysUtils or some other place in RTL that I can
use to extract the target path of a symlink file? I'm using
FindFirst/FindNext. The sr.Attrib and faSymLink is True, but I can't
(in a easy way) see how I can actually find out where it points to.
I'm thinking x-platform here.
Something like ExtractSymLinkPath(). :) Thinking of other available
functions like ExpandUNCFileName() or ExtractFilePath() or
ExtractRelativePath() etc..
I have the following code that works, but then I need to wrap it in
IFDEF's so it doesn't execute under Windows. I don't want IFDEF's in
my code! I'm hoping RTL has something already and just returns a
blank string for Windows, just like the faSymLink which means nothing
under Windows, yet is available.
If you cannot find it in the RTL, consider submitting ReadAllLinks from the LCL's
fileutil unit to the FPC team. At least it doesn't depend on libc (directly).
