Subject: cd, pwd and symlinks
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 10:51:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990927105103.A21392@youkaidi.irisa.fr> (raw)
Hi,
I have strange behaviours with symlinks to directories.
youkaidi ~ % echo $PROMPT
%B%m %~ %#%b
youkaidi ~ % mkdir foo
youkaidi ~ % mkdir foo/bar
youkaidi ~ % md bar
youkaidi ~ % cd bar
youkaidi ~/bar % ln -s ../foo/bar foo
youkaidi ~/bar % cd foo
youkaidi ~/bar/foo % ls ..
bar
youkaidi ~/bar/foo % pwd
/udd/canon/foo/bar
youkaidi ~/bar/foo % /bin/pwd
/udd/canon/foo/bar
youkaidi ~/bar/foo % cd ..
youkaidi ~/bar %
when I type `cd ../' followed with TAB, I get the expansion `cd ../bar'
and if I hit ENTER, I get :
youkaidi ~/bar/foo % cd ../bar
cd: no such file or directory: ../bar
I have no problem with that :
youkaidi ~/bar/foo % cd ..
youkaidi ~/bar %
But I would like a way to do something like that :
youkaidi ~/bar/foo % cd ./..
youkaidi ~/foo %
instead of `youkaidi ~/bar % ', that is going the directory given by
/bin/pwd, i.e. the directory without any symlinks, the same that is
used for the ls command and the completion system.
