win32utils devel - Nov 2008 - File.readlink for Vista?

Hi,

I''ve implemented File.symlink and File.symlink? in the win32-file
library, but
I''m not sure how to implement File.readlink. I searched Google for a
while but
found nothing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dan

Here is File.readlink implementation

def readlink(file)
  hFile = CreateFile(file,
                         GENERIC_READ,
                         FILE_SHARE_READ,
                         nil,
                         OPEN_EXISTING,
                         FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
                         nil)
  path = 0.chr * 256
  GetFinalPathNameByHandle(hFile,path,256,0)
  CloseHandle(hFile)
  path.strip[4..-1]  # get rid of prepending "\\?\"
end
