Re: [9fans] openat()

[Bakul Shah via 9fans]

Faster for any command that operates on dir trees such as diff, du, rm, tar. When I first looked at plan9, I was a bit surprised its open *didn’t* work this way! May be because of this earlier thread on comp.unix.wizards https://groups.google.com/g/comp.unix.wizards/c/i8vapj9BAqs/m/FlNUK705I0UJ  (which has nothing to do with plan9 but people explored some researchy ideas) On Apr 6, 2024, at 10:37 AM, ron minnich <rminn...@gmail.com> wrote: openat gives you the effect of 'cd path; open file' without having to cd. I don't see a lot of benefit to it unless you're opening a lot of files at that path. 9fans / 9fans / see discussions + participants + delivery options Permalink
