>Description:
When passed a path with a component that does not exist realpath() sets
errno to ENOTDIR instead of ENOENT. See kern/128933 for the change that
introduced this behaviour. I believe it is incorrect.
ENOTDIR is
20 ENOTDIR Not a directory. A component of the specified pathname
existed, but it was not a directory, when a directory was
expected.
>How-To-Repeat:
feynman% realpath /does-not-exist/foo
realpath: /does-not-exist/foo: Not a directory
>Fix:
Index: realpath.c
