i have been tidying up some xattrib (extended file attribute) code, and had what i thought was a cool idea.
that idea used xattribs on symlinks. but when i tried this i found that syscall.Getxattr uses the sys call for following syslinks, (it wraps SYS_GETXATTR) and that the corresponding syscall for not following symlinks, (SYS_LGETXATTR) is not wrapped, although an unused symbol for it is there. since this means there is no way to access xattribs on symlinks, whereas wrapping the other symbol would have allowed both, i wonder why this decision? basically i cant see why they aren’t all wrapped, isn't this an automated process? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
