Hello Everyboy. i am new to this mailing list, so please bear with me if i don't follow certain rules till i get used to it. I am a research student and currently working on a project to tweak the working of 'ls' command depending on my requirement. I have observed that 'ls' show ALL THE FILES and DIRECTORIES in a particular location even though a user has no access rights to it. I want to hide all such files for that particular user.
The Algorithm i beleive should work like this when an 'ls' command is called.
1. Check the current directory. 2. Extract the files or directory to be displayed. 3. Check the user permissions for these files. 4. Display only those files wher user had either read, write or execute access for all owner,group and others.
I have found out that 'ls' uses getdents64() system call for gathering the directory information. How do i move ahead from here.
