Subject: Bug 324930 - Nicer message for EPERM on symlink
X-Git-Tag: 2.23.0~71
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef6117f78d036b956d3fe91f6a3748f64499f4c1;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fglib.git

Bug 324930 - Nicer message for EPERM on symlink

Introduced a more precise error message for EPERM when symlinking to
a local filesystem.

EPERM on symlink means symlinking is not supported by the underlying
fs so it is not the general meaning of EPERM which roughly translates
to 'Operation not permitted'.
