Related, It would seem on Linux that FindFirst, FindNext or TSearchRec that none of them can properly detect a symbolic link. For example, if you wanted enumerate files and folder, and there exists a symbolic link inside one folder to some parent of said folder, it's not possible to detect leading to endless recursion. faSymLink currently isn't picked up. I have to use code like this:
uses BaseUnix; function IsSymLink(const Path: string): Boolean; var Stat: TStat; begin fpLstat(PChar(Path), Stat); Result := fpS_ISLNK(Stat.st_mode); end; Which slows down the search a bit.
