Subject: executable extension?

From: (Jerry Heyman) <jerry AT dev DOT tivoli DOT com>



I didn't see this in the FAQ (maybe I'm just blind) but I've
noticed the following:

$ cp du.exe du
cp: 'du.exe' and 'du' are the same file

In stepping through the code, I see that this is the result of
the:

  same = (SAME_INODE(src_sb, dst_sb));

statement in copy.c

I guess I'm trying to understand why stat() sees filename.exe
and filename as the same file :-(
