It is read using readlink(2) once, at the first call to malloc(3) or calloc(3) or a similar function; no file is opened, only the link contents are read. Thus, ln -s is correct. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=36050 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
