[fpc-pascal]Detecting (sym)link in fpc/Linux

[Cor Slot]

Hi

How can see if a file is a link on a linux filesystem?

I'm trying to create a routine that recursively scans the filesystem
with findfirst, findnext, findclose. For each file I use fstat to get
info about the file.

When the program encounters a link to a directory it recurses into that
directory. When the link points to the same directory as the link is in
this gives an endless loop.

With the data I have from searchrec and stat, how can I determine that
the current file is a link? Or do I need another function to do that?

Thanx!

Cheers,
Cor.
