This function is missing on some platforms:
|
|
mingw, MSVC 9.

@item

This function fails to reject trailing slashes on non-directories on
|
|
some platforms:
|
|
FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 11 2011-11, Cygwin 1.5.x.

When the second argument is a dangling symlink, some platforms follow

IRIX 6.5.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
When the first argument is a symlink, some platforms create a
|
|
hard-link to what the symlink referenced, rather than to the symlink
|
|
itself. Use @samp{linkat} to force a particular behavior.
