From: Peter Jones <pjo...@redhat.com> Currently grub-editenv and related tools are not able to follow symbolic links when finding their config file. For example the grub-editenv create command will wrongly overwrite a symlink in /boot/grub2/grubenv with a new regular file, instead of creating a file in the path the symlink points to.
A following patch will change that and add support in grub-editenv to follow symbolic links when finding the grub environment variables file. Add a grub_util_readlink() helper function that is just a wrapper around the platform specific function to read the value of a symbolic link. This helper function will be used by the following patch for grub-editenv.
