Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Reply-To: djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com Current documentation says: @item 18 EMLINK -- Too many links. Not used in DJGPP (as DOS doesn't support links). I assume that this applies to symbolic links, not hard ones, because DOS always supports one hard link to given file. But in Single UNIX specification [EMLINK] Too many links An attempt was made to have the link count of a single file exceed {LINK_MAX}. This clearly speaks about hard links. Which is right? What does POSIX say? This is not very big problem, only documentation needs clarifying. (And my symlink code has to use ELOOP instead of EMLINK.) How about following?
