|

I also believe (I could be wrong) that for directories, the only
|
||||
two methods of links are the Soft link methods above. So PGXLOG
|
||||
cannot use soft links on a non-XP/2K machine unless it is
|
||||
"Shell-Aware". For example, in a cygwin bash command window:
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir dir1
|
||||
ln dir1 dir2 <- Error using Cygwin implementation
|
||||
ln -s dir1 dir2 <- Creates a Shell short-cut (NT4)
|
||||
echo "Hello" > dir1/test.txt
|
||||
cat dir2/test.txt
|
||||
"Hello" <- Cygwin's cat(bash?) is shell short-cut aware
|
||||
|
||||
Now, in a Windows NT command prompt:
|
||||
|
||||
notepad dir2\test.txt <- Notepad can't find file
|
||||
notepad dir2.lnk <- Displays link contents
|
||||
|
||||
That means for a native port with a different PGXLOG directory
|
||||
running on NT4, the only choice *using links* is to make the
|
||||
native port shell short-cut aware.
|
||||
|
||||
I could be wrong but I don't think so.

|

The situation appears to be this:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Soft links are available on NTFS 5 (2K/XP) as Reparse Points
|
||||
via the DeviceIoControl() function for any application using the
|
||||
standard C library routines.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Soft links are available on any filesystem under
|
||||
95/98/ME/NT4/2K/XP as OLE streams (.lnk files) for Shell-aware
|
||||
applications.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Hard links are available on NTFS 5 (2K/XP) via the
|
||||
CreateHardLink() API.
|
||||
|
||||
See:
|
||||
|
||||
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/createhardlink.asp
|
||||
|
||||
4. Hard links are available on NTFS (NT3.1/NT4) via the
|
||||
BackupWrite() API by writing a special stream to the NTFS.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.mvps.org/win32/ntfs/lnw.cpp
|
||||
|
||||
The cygwin implementation of link():
|
||||
|
||||
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc?rev=1.149.2.23&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
|
||||
|
||||
1. Will use CreateHardLink() if on 2K/XP
|
||||
2. Will try to use the BackupWrite() method
|
||||
3. Failing #2 will just copy the file
|
||||
|
||||
See how fun Microsoft makes things?
