Subject: [9fans] unique identity to virtual files
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:09:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eff0484811b6fbdca820c1b64e274510@quintile.net> (raw)
The subject probably doesn't explain at all well.
I have a program (A) I have written, it can optionally run atop of a
a synthetic filesystem (B) which expands some files into directories
of files.
The A needs to be able to tell the difference between a
'real' directory and one generated by B.
I could use the muid and uid and gid as magic strings, alternatively I
could use the dev or/and type fields from stat.
Anyone have any strong feelings on the ``right'' way to do this?
-Steve
