[Openmcl-devel] Relative path symlinks

[Ron Garret]

If I have the following situation:

[user at host:/path] ls -l relative-symlink
lrwxr-xr-x  1 ron  staff  6 May 18 17:39 relative-symlink@ -> ../foo

Is there a CCL function (or a unix system call) that given the argument “/path/relative-symlink” will return the string “../foo”?

The reason I need this is that I’m writing a utility to verify the integrity of a backup, so I need to get the raw data out of a symlink, and not the fully resolved path.

Thanks,
rg
