Hi,
The dirent.d_type value for Cygwin symbolic links is 0 (DT_UNKNOWN). The
value is 10 (DT_LNK) for Windows native symbolic links. I think d_type
should be 10 for Cygwin symbolic links too.
Example program. Run it in a folder with a Cygwin symbolic link and a
Windows symbolic link (create with mklink command in an administrator
command prompt).
#include <dirent.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
DIR *dirp;
struct dirent *dp;
dirp = opendir(".");
dp = readdir(dirp);
while (dp) {
printf("%s %d\n", dp->d_name, dp->d_type);
if (dp->d_type == DT_LNK)
printf("SYMLINK");
dp = readdir(dirp);
}
closedir(dirp);
return 0;
}
