Still on the path of the righteous, [see the past
discussion about create(2)], I want to propose an addition
to stat(2) to allow direct access to walk(5).
I propose:
int qstat(char *name, QID *eqid)
This will translate to:
clone(5)
walk(5) [saving the value of QID]
clunk(5)
This allows user level access to walk(5). How else can a
userspace file server pass walk(5) calls to another 9P server?
Comments?
