(though Linux allows the flag AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW to be applied to faccessa= t) Could a note like this be added to the man page? "access, eaccess, faccessat will ALWAYS dereference symbolic links. If you = need to refer to the symbolic link itself, you'll have to instead use stat(2)" --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
