Hi all,
Here's a little code snippet I thought I'd share. It follows a chain
of symlinks until you get down to the "real" file. Anyone got a better
approach?
# On Solaris 10, Sunblade 150
#
# /dev/fd0 -> fd0c
# /dev/fd0c -> diskette0
# /dev/diskett0 -> ../devices/pci@1f,0/isa@7/dma@0,0/floppy@0,3f0:c
#
file = '/dev/fd0'
while true
Dir.chdir(File.dirname(file))
file = File.expand_path(File.readlink(file))
break unless File.symlink?(file)
end
puts file # /devices/pci@1f,0/isa@7/dma@0,0/floppy@0,3f0:c
Regards,
Dan
