From 24b2079eae8888d1380b4cb5028bdab952e4df1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karsten Blees Date: Sat, 16 May 2015 01:18:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Win32: implement stat() with symlink support With respect to symlinks, the current stat() implementation is almost the same as lstat(): except for the file type (st_mode & S_IFMT), it returns information about the link rather than the target. Implement stat by opening the file with as little permissions as possible and calling GetFileInformationByHandle on it. This way, all link resoltion is handled by the Windows file system layer. If symlinks are disabled, use lstat() as before, but fail with ELOOP if a symlink would have to be resolved.
