I discovered a strange behaviour when accessing /dev/fd:
ls -l /dev/fd/0
ls -l /dev/fd/0/1
ls -l /dev/fd/0/1/2/3/4/5
ls -l /dev/fd/0/1/2/3/
ls -l /dev/fd/0/1/2
ls -l /dev/fd/0/1/2/3
ls -l /dev/fd/0/1/1/1/1
gives:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hk Benutzer 0 Jan 21 23:52 /dev/fd/0 -> /dev/pty0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hk Benutzer 0 Jan 21 23:52 /dev/fd/0/1 -> /dev/pty0
ls: cannot access /dev/fd/0/1/2/3/4/5: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /dev/fd/0/1/2/3/: Not a directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hk Benutzer 0 Jan 21 23:52 /dev/fd/0/1/2 -> /dev/pty0
ls: cannot access /dev/fd/0/1/2/3: Not a directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hk Benutzer 0 Jan 21 23:52 /dev/fd/0/1/1/1/1 -> /dev/pty0
I'd expect ls /dev/fd/n/p to fail for any combination of n and p.
I'm using 1.7.32. Has this been fixed meanwhile?
