* [9fans] Name duplication in union directories @ 2024-05-04 21:44 Alyssa M via 9fans 2024-05-04 21:46 ` Charles Forsyth 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Alyssa M via 9fans @ 2024-05-04 21:44 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 9fans [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 600 bytes --] Is the presence of the duplicate names when reading a union directory actually needed/used anywhere? Or is it just an artefact of the most straightforward implementation for Plan 9? I ask because I'm implementing the Plan 9 system calls on my own OS. If I don't have to implement the name duplication in union directories, then I may be able to get away with less code. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf4c3dc658874afea-M65300584831da4f8f8d56134 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1132 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
