how to check if a path is actual or symbolic link
- by hits_lucky
Hi,
I am writing my own shell program. I am currently implementing the cd command using chdir.
I want to implement the cd with the below options :
-P Do not follow symbolic links
-L Follow symbolic links (default)
My query is that , when a given path is entered on the shell how to figure out if the path is a symbolic link or an absolute path progamatically?
Thanks
