Description: |
Tcl's "file copy" functionality attempts to copy a directory into itself. Like: $ mkdir 1 $ mkdir 1/2 $ tclsh % file copy 1 1/2 error copying "1" to "1/2/1": "1/2/1/2/1/2[long string deleted]": file name too long Other, similar programs seem to check the inodes of the path to ensure directories don't get copied into themselves: $ mkdir 1 $ mkdir 1/2 $ cp -r 1 1/2 cp: cannot copy a directory, '1', into itself, '1/2/1' |
