dovecot - Jan 2009 - Obtaining the chroot-cage directory of the mailstore

Hello,

I'd like to find a function in the sourcecode which enables me to get the
chroot-path of the mailstore, so I can concatenate it with the result of
mail_storage_get_mailbox_path to get the full path of a mailbox within the
filesystem.

Does such a function exist? Who can help me?

Thanks in advance.
Stefan

What do you do with it since you're already inside chroot? Anyway you
should be able to get it with getenv("RESTRICT_CHROOT").

Hello,

I try to access the files within the maildir-structure directly, because I want
to store some files with status data there (I try to implement some experimental
ACL stuff). So I thaught that I would need the root cage's path to access it
in the file system.
But I think you're surely right: I might not need the path , because...
*hmm*

I will try this!!! Anyway: thanks for the "getenv"-command respectivly
the parameter! :-)

Best regards
Stefan
