As with most bits of unix (i.e. symlinks), it is a shame that the Nt
implementation isnt as seamless as the unix one. it means we can't
easily work with it to provide a portable pipe mechanism that the OS
handles. But if you can stick to unix, pipes make a good IPC
mechanism. And like I said, if you have a proper clustering OS, those
pipes work across machines in the cluster.
Would a minimal Java+JNI interface be a useful thing to have? Would
anyone use it? A portable library would be good for this kind of thing,
indeed a cross-platform mechanism for symlinks would be good too, or
wouldn't it?
well, it'd be nice if we could get/set unix file permissions; that is
the most important thing to me, symlinks would be good too. There are no
real symlinks in NTFS, though hard links are allowed in the same filesystem.
