- Unfortunately, Solaris 9 is one of the platforms where the
- root user can unlink directories, and we don't want to
- cripple this behavior on real directories, even if it is
- seldom needed (at any rate, it's nicer to let coreutils'
- unlink(1) give the correct errno for non-root users). But we
- don't know whether name was an actual directory, or a symlink
- to a directory; and due to the bug of ignoring trailing
- slash, Solaris 9 would end up successfully unlinking the
- symlink instead of the directory. Technically, we could use
- realpath to find the canonical directory name to attempt
- deletion on. But that is a lot of work for a corner case; so
- we instead just use an lstat on the shortened name, and
- reject symlinks with trailing slashes. The root user of
- unlink(1) will just have to live with the rule that they
- can't delete a directory via a symlink. */
