[Caml-list] Unix.stats?

[Caml-list] Unix.stats?

[Johann Spies]

I am trying to build an Ocaml function which can produce the same
result as Unix's "find <dir> -f f" and when my function started to go
into an endless loop I found the following:

Consider the following:

-rw-r--r--    2 js       js       186322944 Mar 21 23:53 3
-rw-r--r--    2 js       js       186322944 Mar 21 23:53 1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 js       js              1 Mar 22 00:26 2 -> 1

1 is the original text file.
2 a symlink
3 a hardlink

# Unix.stat "/tmp/2";;
- : Unix.stats =
{Unix.st_dev = 774; Unix.st_ino = 459846; Unix.st_kind = Unix.S_REG;
 Unix.st_perm = 420; Unix.st_nlink = 1; Unix.st_uid = 1000;
 Unix.st_gid = 1000; Unix.st_rdev = 0; Unix.st_size = 186322944;
 Unix.st_atime = 1048284710; Unix.st_mtime = 1048283603;
 Unix.st_ctime = 1048283603}
# Unix.stat "/tmp/3";;
- : Unix.stats =
{Unix.st_dev = 774; Unix.st_ino = 459846; Unix.st_kind = Unix.S_REG;
 Unix.st_perm = 420; Unix.st_nlink = 2; Unix.st_uid = 1000;
 Unix.st_gid = 1000; Unix.st_rdev = 0; Unix.st_size = 186322944;
 Unix.st_atime = 1048284710; Unix.st_mtime = 1048283603;
 Unix.st_ctime = 1048285609}

Why did Unix.stat.Unix.st_kind not show Unix.S_LNK ?  I am using Ocaml
3.04 in this case.

And how do I get it to recognize the link?

Regards.

Use Unix.lstat.

Use lstat instead. The ocaml functions are merely a wrapper around the
posix functions, so the system manual pages will probbaly of use also.

Thanks (to Markus also).
