Subject: file-attributes returns negative integer for inode value
Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 14:46:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <003e01c87cb7$35d17d00$0600a8c0@us.oracle.com> (raw)
emacs -Q
No reliable recipe to reproduce, but for me, some directories give a
negative inode number for file-attributes. For example:
M-x (file-attributes "c:/drews-lisp-20/Screenshots") gives:
(t 1 5 5 (18378 24192) (18123 40338) (18123 40337) 0
"drwxrwxrwx" nil -3082 240391127)
The inode value here is -3082. The Elisp manual, however says that if
the integer is too large, then a cons is used for the inode value. Is
this a Windows-specific problem, perhaps?
Also, there is a typo in the doc string for `file-attributes':
...
If inode number is larger than the Emacs integer,
this is a cons cell containing two integers: first the high part,
then the low 16 bits.
"the Emacs integer" should presumably be "the largest Emacs integer".
