rename(): could you comment on Linux rename(2) manpage? Quote:
EEXIST The new pathname contained a path prefix of the old.
EINVAL An attempt was made to make a directory a subdi=AD rectory of itself.
How do those cases differ?
Now that you point me to this page, I changed the text into
ENOTEMPTY or EEXIST newpath is a non-empty directory, i.e., contains entries other than "." and "..".
EINVAL The new pathname contained a path prefix of the old, or, more generally, an attempt was made to make a directory a subdirectory of itself.
(The second part of this description is required to cover cases involving symbolic links.)
Thanks!
Andries
