Is there a real point to all this code in pg_backup_directory.c? static void createDirectory(const char *dir) { struct stat st;
/* the directory must not exist yet. */ if (stat(dir, &st) == 0) { if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) exit_horribly(modulename, "cannot create directory %s, it exists already\n", dir); else exit_horribly(modulename, "cannot create directory %s, a file with this name " "exists already\n", dir); } /* * Now we create the directory. Note that for some race condition we could * also run into the situation that the directory has been created just * between our two calls. */ if (mkdir(dir, 0700) < 0) exit_horribly(modulename, "could not create directory %s: %s\n", dir, strerror(errno)); } Couldn't we just call mkdir() and report the strerrno(errno) to begin with, like everyone else does? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
