Message-ID: <334@drilex.UUCP> Date: Tue, 1-Dec-87 12:43:49 EST Article-I.D.: drilex.334 Posted: Tue Dec 1 12:43:49 1987 Date-Received: Fri, 4-Dec-87 21:37:57 EST Distribution: na Organization: Data Resources, Inc., Lexington, MA Lines: 14 Keywords: BSD, symbolic link I am using Sun's version of BSD, SunOS 3.x. In their setup, there are a number of symbolic links with relative pathnames. I have a couple of questions about this: 1. What, precisely, are the semantics of a relative pathname as the target of a symbolic link? 2. Where in the FMs could I have learned the answer to this question? I will accept references to Berkeley manuals as well as Sun ones. -- Craig Jackson UUCP: {harvard!axiom,linus!axiom,ll-xn}!drilex!dricej BIX: cjackson
