Most of the net is not for whining children. Please do not post to irrelevant newgroups. Refrain from posting if you have no idea of netiquette. What you asked has nothing to do with C or Ada or miscellaneous languages. It is a UNIX question and as such is appropriate only there. |> Does anybody know of an good solution to seeing if two filenames given actually |> point at the same file in the file system? (Probably a solution in C). Understand the difference between programming and coding. What you are asking for is a `programming' and `binding' question, not a coding question. Language is mostly irrelevant to this question. In any case keeping track of files by there beginning inode numbers is much easier than by their names.
