Sorry, but it is not as simple as that!=20 When we are talking about sophisticated file systems, such as ZFS, bindings= are necessary, because the functions which are specific to the file system= are not supported by the language. Of course, I am talking about functions= that are beyond opening, reading and writing files. For instance: extended attributes (xattr). Can I access and use them from A= da? No, unless I have the bindings specific to that file system.
