Subject: Physical path resolution does not handle parent junction points
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 19:08:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+-+cpHkFnqe5byjyWQauDqrZfXMJeYqSgphLOxc+W5Lm3XUGw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Open terminal (as admin):
[~] $ mkdir -p A/B
[~] $ ln -s A C
[~] $ cmd /c "mklink /j D A"
Junction created for D <<===>> A
[~] $ (cd C/B ; pwd -P)
/home/me/A/B
[~] $ (cd D/B ; pwd -P)
/home/me/D/B
The last output should be /home/me/A/B, not /home/me/D/B.
realpath displays the same behavior.
