Re: [Caml-list] howto: recursively iterate over filesystem

[Ivan <ivg@ieee.org>]

Merсi, it looks nice! But I didn't understand what's the issue with links. The FilePath.mli file contains a 
warning, that I've failed to understand:
  32     This module manipulate abstract path that are not bound to a real filesystem.
  33     In particular, it makes the assumption that there is no symbolic link that
  34     should modify the meaning of a path. If you intend to use this module
  35     against a real set of filename, the best solution is to apply to every
  36     filename to solve symbolic link through {!FileUtil.readlink}.

In my situation a folder, which I'd like to traverse, is plenty of links. 
Maybe someone can clarify it for me?
