There's one major and one minor category still unfixed: doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon); other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category. (Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

# _emx_link.py
|
|
|
|
# Written by Andrew I MacIntyre, December 2002.
|
|
|
|
"""_emx_link.py is a simplistic emulation of the Unix link(2) library routine
|
|
for creating so-called hard links. It is intended to be imported into
|
|
the os module in place of the unimplemented (on OS/2) Posix link()
|
|
function (os.link()).
|
|
|
|
We do this on OS/2 by implementing a file copy, with link(2) semantics:-
|
|
- the target cannot already exist;
|
|
- we hope that the actual file open (if successful) is actually
|
|
atomic...
|
|
|
|
Limitations of this approach/implementation include:-
|
|
- no support for correct link counts (EMX stat(target).st_nlink
|
|
is always 1);
|
|
- thread safety undefined;
|
|
- default file permissions (r+w) used, can't be over-ridden;
|
|
- implemented in Python so comparatively slow, especially for large
|
|
source files;
|
|
- need sufficient free disk space to store the copy.
|
|
|
|
Behaviour:-
|
|
- any exception should propagate to the caller;
|
|
- want target to be an exact copy of the source, so use binary mode;
|
|
- returns None, same as os.link() which is implemented in posixmodule.c;
|
|
- target removed in the event of a failure where possible;
|
|
- given the motivation to write this emulation came from trying to
|
|
support a Unix resource lock implementation, where minimal overhead
|
|
during creation of the target is desirable and the files are small,
|
|
we read a source block before attempting to create the target so that
|
|
we're ready to immediately write some data into it.
