Magic Symlinks
Catching up 5 weeks of source-changes...
Jason Thorpe has committed code that has been sleeping in
PR 1781 for about ten years now:
``Magic symlinks'' need to be enabled both in the kernel(compile)
as well as being switched on as mount option, and allow embedding
a number of special things into symlink targets then, which are
expanded before the symlink's target is actually accessed, much
like environment variables:
mkdir /arch/i386/bin
mkdir /arch/sparc/bin
ln -s /arch/@machine_arch/bin /bin
See PR 1781 and the latest(!) symlink(7)
manpage.
