Subject: Re: [BUG v2017.07.0] readlink -f command broken?
Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2017 01:37:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B5A80E7D-BD0B-4E5F-A4DC-16CB9769FB3F@jcrosoft.com> (raw)

HI,

	I wrote the symlink support in barebox

	But I Worte a partial support only end path file not dirs

	As this is a boot loader not an OS

Best Regards,
J.
