CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

#include <ShoreApp.h>
shrc Shore::readlink(const char *path,
                     char *buf, 
                     int bufsize,
                     int *resultlen);

DESCRIPTION

Readlink copies the character string out of the symbolic link object named by path into the buffer given by buf. At most bufsize characters are copied. Upon return, resultlen indicates the actual number of characters copied. The resulting string is null-terminated only if the actual length of the string is less than bufsize.
