Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 08:22:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20000510122245.QSQx7Ic6PJwXc0plvSWj_TAUl3hjv2CndrYgJYTL1wM@z> (raw)
Gwyn:
From that experience I concluded that the current working directory
ought to be maintained by the kernel as a path, not (just) an inode
index, and chdir() should canonicalize the path as described above.
Plan 9 does this now. I'm presenting a paper about path names in Plan 9
at the Usenix in June.
De Re:
More interestingly, it neatly removes the need for ".." altogether,
doesn't it?
Perhaps, but not in Plan 9, which still walks the ".." and then has an
algorithm to match the result with the path name generated lexically.
Details in June.
