- Tired of running into "Too many levels of symlinks" problems on
- your 4.2 BSD derivitive machine?
-
- We sure did... our NFS'ed network of lots of Suns, Vaxen and so forth
- made it impossible at times to trace down where a file REALLY lived.
- I mean ls -l is nice, but wouldn't you like to follow things like
- the namei routine in the kernel does?
-
- Well here it is.... the namei program. It follows things out until
- a terminal state is found.
-
- This program compiles and runs under:
-
- SunOS 4.0.1 (sun3's)
- SunOS 4.0.3 (sun4's)
- SunOS 4.1.1 (sun4's)
- Ultrix 3.1
- BSD 4.3
-
- and probably a host of other 4.2 derived systems (but probably not
- System V).
-
- Anyway, if anyone has any bugs (or enhancements), please send them to
- me in E-mail form.
-
- And, by the way, if you make LOTS of money off of this program, please
- don't tell me :-).
