Message-ID: X-Sender: waterlan AT xs4all DOT nl User-Agent: XS4ALL Webmail X-IsSubscribed: yes Hi, The dirent.d_type value for Cygwin symbolic links is 0 (DT_UNKNOWN). The value is 10 (DT_LNK) for Windows native symbolic links. I think d_type should be 10 for Cygwin symbolic links too. Example program. Run it in a folder with a Cygwin symbolic link and a Windows symbolic link (create with mklink command in an administrator command prompt). #include #include #include #include int main() { DIR *dirp; struct dirent *dp; dirp = opendir("."); dp = readdir(dirp); while (dp) { printf("%s %d\n", dp->d_name, dp->d_type); if (dp->d_type == DT_LNK) printf("SYMLINK"); dp = readdir(dirp); } closedir(dirp); return 0; } -- Erwin Waterlander http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
