[fuse-devel] Question about access function, oh and happy newyear!!

[Stef B. <st...@gm...>]

Hello,

happy newyear!! I hope everybody had a good time yesterday...

To start the new year, I've got a question about the access function.
I've read in the pages from the opengroup:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/access.html

and in the fuse.h headerfile, that access checks the file access
permissions, but as I look to the logfile of my fs:

2010-01-01T10:24:26.691876+01:00 lfs20080510 fuse-workspace-union:
access, pad: /Network/Windows Network/BONONLINE/LFS20060812
2010-01-01T10:24:26.691914+01:00 lfs20080510 fuse-workspace-union:
IsSymbolicLink: /var/lib/mount.md5key/home/gast/Network/Windows
Network/BONONLINE/LFS20060812
2010-01-01T10:24:26.691966+01:00 lfs20080510 fuse-workspace-union:
getattr, pad: /Network/Windows Network/BONONLINE/LFS20060812
2010-01-01T10:24:26.692003+01:00 lfs20080510 fuse-workspace-union:
IsSymbolicLink: /var/lib/mount.md5key/home/gast/Network/Windows
Network/BONONLINE/LFS20060812

So this information show's it's working on directories. Now how does
it work?? Does is work on a file or a directory??

Futher, getattr does call lstat, which looks in case of a symlink to
the symlink self, not the target.

What does the system access function ?? Look to the symlink self or the target??
