Subject: [PATCH v17 02/10] pg_stat_file and pg_ls_dir_* to use lstat()..
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 18:59:16 -0500
pg_ls_dir_* will now skip (no longer show) symbolic links, same as other
non-regular file types, as we advertize we do since 8b6d94cf6. That seems to
be the intented behavior, since irregular file types are 1) less portable; and,
2) we don't currently show a file's type except for "bool is_dir".
pg_stat_file will now 1) show metadata of links themselves, rather than their
target; and, 2) specifically, show links to directories with "is_dir=false";
and, 3) not error on broken symlinks.
