Message-ID: <280@ihu1h.UUCP> Date: Fri, 3-Aug-84 17:11:26 EDT Article-I.D.: ihu1h.280 Posted: Fri Aug 3 17:11:26 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 4-Aug-84 02:27:57 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 12 In System V you can test to see if the current directory is root by if (stat(".", &status) == 0 && status.st_ino == ROOTINO) where ROOTINO defined in sys/params.h as 2. This header file in BSD 4.2 does not have ROOTINO. Is 2 the correct value in BSD, is it something else, or do I have to stat("/", ...) to get the value? I want to avoid the latter if possible. -- # Joe Steffen, AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL, (312) 979-5381
