Hi,
As far as I understand the 'libc' unit is a compatibility unit from
the Kylix days and is only meant for linux/x86, so isn't portable.
I'm trying to get fpGUI working under FreeBSD but hit a snag in my
File Grid component. The File Grid component displays a directory in a
grid (think File Dialog here) and shows the file permissions, file
group name and file user name. The code to get the group name and
user name uses methods & types from the libc unit, so I'm not able to
compile it under FreeBSD.
Anybody know if there is a generic set of methods that supports all
(or most) unix style OS's? I looked in 'baseunix', but there the
group and name methods relate to a process id's, not to file
attributes...
The offending code is as follows...
function GetGroupName(gid: integer): string;
var
p: PGroup;
begin
p := getgrgid(gid);
if p <> nil then
result := p^.gr_name;
end;
function GetUserName(uid: integer): string;
var
p: PPasswd;
begin
p := getpwuid(uid);
if p <> nil then
result := p^.pw_name
else
result := '';
end;
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
