Hi Michael http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/symlink.2.html I saw that [linkpath] being the empty string "" also returns ENOENT. I feel worth clariying: Current text: "ENOENT A directory component in linkpath does not exist or is a dangling symbolic link, or target is the empty string." Proposed new text: "ENOENT target or linkpath are empty strings. Or a directory component in linkpath does not exist or is a dangling symbolic link." I tested with result = symlink("", NULL); printf("symlink: '' NULL: %d, %d, '%s'\n", result, errno, strerror(errno)); Output: symlink: '' NULL: -1, 2, 'No such file or directory' -- Jonny jg@xxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
