I did a little experiment. First I ran the following in a Terminal:
mkdir test
cd test
echo "A" > a
echo "B" > b
ln a.txt c
Now a
and c
have the same content, A
, and the same inode number. I can then edit c
, using vim, to contain C
instead of A
and a
will also contain C, since they are the same file.
However, if I do the same experiment again but use TextEdit instead of vim it seems to create a new file when I save it. c
gets a new inode number and a
still contains A
. Why is this? What's going on?
true. same question, even same answer :) .. so it must be true, hehe. – akira – 2010-07-29T10:42:01.290
