Subject:   utimes chown and xattr

Nearly finished the porting of this BoxBackup program but I have a few minor
issues to resolve. I cannot retrieve the file attributes from the backup 
store

::utimes(Filename, times) returns an error which gives errno 13

[EACCES]
    Search permission is denied by a component of the path prefix; or
    the /times/ argument is a null pointer and the effective user ID of
    the process does not match the owner of the file and write access is
    denied.

The times structure has good data (I think) and Filename returns just 
the filename (no path)
this statement
printf("BCFA.cpp:634\nfilename=%s\n0=%d\n1=%d\n",Filename,times[0],times[1]);
gives
filename=Tame.ico
0=1047503576
1=0
Although I tried to set times[0] and times[1] to the same, but I realise 
its a structure of
seconds in unixtime and milliseconds but I am not sure how to interrogate it
correctly.

The other thing that gives me an erro is this
::chmod(Filename, mode & (S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO | S_ISUID | 
S_ISGID | S_ISVTX))
I guess it is probably the same problem

Finally is there any support for extended attributes, unix has some 
xattr stuff but I can't
find anything in OS/2 emx libraries

BTW I am using gcc 3.3.5 and libc601 (latest)

Regards

Dave Bamford.

Subject:   AWK script

The following AWK script has been suggested as a means of performing a 
task I want achieve

awk -F';' '{for(i=2;i<NF;i++) s=s $i FS ORS; ORS=""; print s>$1}'

How would I run it under OS/2?

Depending on the shell you are running, exactly as you have shown it or
with some tweaks to handle any quoting issues. Bash etc. should run the
command line unsullied.  Cmd.exe will need the quotes adjusted.  You do
need to supply an input file via stdin.

I was thinking of cmd.exe and don't know how to incorporate quotes when 
quotes are actually included in the script itself.

How about putting this in a text file:

{for(i=2;i<NF;i++) s=s $i FS ORS; ORS=""; print s>$1}

and executing it via the command:

awk -F';' -f name_of_text_file
