GNU File Utilities customized for use with ext2-os2. Build 0.1.
What you get: So far just an "ls -l" command that properly displays
permissions and owners of files on Linux ext2 partitions mounted under OS/2
using Matthieu WILLM's ext2-os2 driver.
The remaining GNU File Utilities are also provided but contain no new
functionality. However you must install them as a group for compatibility with
the included gnufu.dll.
Source code is included. Also included is an object library containing
replacement stat, fstat, getuser, and getgroup routines which you can use in
your own utilities. These routines also work on non-ext2 partitions (where
'root' seems to own everything!). This object library requires that you also
use Matthieu's vfsapi.lib from his package (see prior announcement in this
newsgroup.)
