Field Documentation

unsigned explain_final_t::follow_interpreter

When want_to_execute is set, the executable file should be checked for #! and if so, the named interpreter's path should also be checked for executability. (This is the default). To avoid infinite recursion, when checking the interpreter itself, disable this flag.

unsigned explain_final_t::must_be_a_st_mode

This is set to 0 by default, meaning any file type is acceptable. If you want a specific type, set this bit, and also set the st_mode member (below) to the desired file type, e.g. S_IFREG, S_IFDIR, etc.

unsigned explain_final_t::st_mode

When want_to_create, this is an indication of what is about to be created, so that it can be used to inform the error messages.

When want a file to exist (the must_be_a_st_mode bit is set) this member indicates the desired file type.

Defaults to S_IFREG.
