What I rather meant was that if you had permission to readdir() the parent to get a valid pathname, and your system isn't on fire (no EIO), "normally" the function can't fail, though I had forgotten about ELOOP. I don't think there is a way using the plain POSIX permissions schemes to get stat() to give you EACCES; e.g. chmod 000 won't do it. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
