Another simple question (I hope):
Is there any reason why shell commands should be used in place of a
C command (in this case chmod via vsystem instead of the chmod(2)
function)? It seems like the fork / exec would be more expensive with
the shell command, but any area where code could be optimized is more
than welcome I would think.
Thanks,
