Hi all
I need to remove some unwanted symlinks on /dev using a C program.
The struct dirent only shows the symlink name, how do I find what that
symlink points to for verification purpose?
Regards
Unga

By using the readlink(2) system call.

Thanks everybody for valuable replies. In fact, I also used readlink(2) but
fed the symlink path directly from dirent, which was partial, readlink(2)
requires full path.
Nope it doesn't. It's the classical opendir does not chdir problem.
