Subject: Stumbled upon relative name resolution across symlinks
Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2018 22:50:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <123348672.20181102013908@yandex.ru> (raw)
Greetings, All!
$ pwd
/home/anrdaemon/Documents/NIX/CA-tutorial/test
$ ls -ld bin ca-profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 anrdaemon None 61 ноя 2 01:15 bin -> /home/anrdaemon/Documents/NIX/CA-tutorial/svn-working/scripts
-rwx--x--x 1 anrdaemon None 588 дек 24 2017 ca-profile
$ cat bin/../ca-profile
cat: bin/../ca-profile: No such file or directory
$ cat $( realpath -Le "bin/../ca-profile" )
# @version $Id: ca-profile 82 2014-02-08 05:24:12Z anrdaemon $
...
In simpler words, the bin directory is symlinked from elsewhere.
realpath -Le resolves correctly, but all other filesystem functions fail.
I vaguely recall that there was some discussion on the matter, but search
returns too many results, can't read them all.
My question, basically: is this expected way of things?
If so, I'd just workaround it. Sad but doable.
