[Mono-list] Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.(l)stat weirdness

[László Monda]

Hey List,

I've been playing with stat() and lstat() in the past few days and
things seem to be weird.

I made two test programs to demonstrate the problem.  The first is
written in C and behaves correctly, the second is written in C# and is
quite abnormal.  I attached both of them.


Let's see the test results on a socket file:


$ stattest-c /home/laci/.gnome-system-monitor.laci
filename: /home/laci/.gnome-system-monitor.laci

stat
        is_file: false
        is_dir: false
        is_fifo: false
        is_sock: true
        is_chardev: false
        is_blockdev: false

lstat
        is_file: false
        is_dir: false
        is_fifo: false
        is_sock: true
        is_chardev: false
        is_blockdev: false

$ mono StatTest.exe /home/laci/.gnome-system-monitor.laci
filename: /home/laci/.gnome-system-monitor.laci

stat
        is_file: true
        is_dir: true
        is_fifo: false
        is_sock: true
        is_chardev: false
        is_blockdev: false

lstat
        is_file: true
        is_dir: true
        is_fifo: false
        is_sock: true
        is_chardev: false
        is_blockdev: false

Somebody could explain what's wrong with
Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.(l)stat?

Thanks in advance!
