What were you trying to do?
list my files
What's wrong:
<35> deathtongue:~> /bin/ls -CFL ~/core
/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/m/a/marc/core: No such file or directory
Exit 2
What should have happened:
<2> oliver:tcsh/dev/build> /bin/ls -CFL ~/core
/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/m/a/marc/core@
That is, it should correctly display the file as a dangling symlink,
and not returning a non-zero error. I suspect that the solaris
version is calling stat() instead of lstat() when -L is specified.
Considering that the filename would have come from readdir(), saying
"No such file or directory" is clearly the wrong answer.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
