Idol: Herbert Gro"nemeyer Date: Sat, 05 Sep 92 22:55:12 -0400 From: david carlton <carlton@husc.harvard.edu> X-Mts: smtp Are hurd's system calls going to use the presence or absence of a trailing "/" to tell whether a directory/file node is being used as a directory or a file? If not, how will that work? The file calls are a completely different set from the directory calls, so theree is no need to disambiguate. Attempts to look up things which aren't directories, when a trailing slash is given, will fail with ENOTDIR. -mib
