Subject: Enhancement for file-attributes
Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:26:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83a9w7egdd.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Would it be a good idea to enhance file-attributes by adding one more
optional argument to it, which, when non-nil, will cause Emacs call
'stat', not 'lstat', on the argument file name? This should avoid the
need to call file-chase-links when all we want is to get the
attributes of the file pointed to by the symlink.
