I'm running up against a difficult situation because dm_path_to_handle
does not return a handle, if the path is to a directory. Is this a
known issue, or perhaps fixed in a recent version? Or is there another
way get the handle of a directory by path? When any file type is
renamed, I (for various reasons) *must* know not just the old & new
parent handles, but also the handle of the renamed thingy. If the
thingy is a directory, I'm stuck at the moment.
My test system has dmapi 2.2.1-5, which I don't think is current, but I
can't seem to get access to the oss.sgi.com server to check.
Any advice or info appreciated. I'm willing to try and submit a patch,
but I'd appreciate first knowing whether there was a specific reason or
problem that led to the current behavior.
Thanks,
John Groves
