eio_readlink — Read value of a symbolic link.

Description

resource eio_readlink ( string $path , int $pri , callable $callback [, string $data = NULL ] )

Parameters

path

Source symbolic link path

pri

The request priority: EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, EIO_PRI_MIN, EIO_PRI_MAX, or NULL. If NULL passed, pri internally is set to EIO_PRI_DEFAULT.

callback

callback function is called when the request is done. It should match the following prototype:


void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);

data: is custom data passed to the request.
result: request-specific result value; basically, the value returned by corresponding system call.

Arbitrary variable passed to callback.

Return Values

eio_readlink() returns request resource on success or FALSE on error.

Examples

Example #1 eio_readlink() example


<?php
$filename = dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.dat";
touch($filename);
$link = dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.link";
$hardlink = dirname(__FILE__)."/hardlink.link";

function my_hardlink_cb($data, $result) {
    global $link, $filename;
    var_dump(file_exists($data) && !is_link($data));
    @unlink($data);

    eio_symlink($filename, $link, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_symlink_cb", $link);
}

function my_symlink_cb($data, $result) {
    global $link, $filename;
    var_dump(file_exists($data) && is_link($data));

    if (!eio_readlink($data, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_readlink_cb", NULL)) {
        @unlink($link);
        @unlink($filename);
    }
}

function my_readlink_cb($data, $result) {
    global $filename, $link;
    var_dump($result);

    @unlink($link);
    @unlink($filename);
}

eio_link($filename, $hardlink, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_hardlink_cb", $hardlink);
eio_event_loop();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

bool(true)
bool(true)
string(16) "/tmp/symlink.dat"
