The following code creates a symbolic link in the current directory and then uses System.Posix.Files.getFileStatus to get the status of the link.
However, isDirectory returns True and isSymbolicLink returns False which is very different from what the stat() system call on a POSIX system would return. I consider this a bug.
Have you actually tried it? stat() on a symlink returns information about the target of the link; lstat() returns information about the link itself. These functions correspond to getFileStatus and getSymbolicLinkStatus respectively. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
