hi - is it possible to have some kind of fancy links that |
2 |
know the name of the process that is trying to access |
3 |
it, and based on its name, it links it to a file? |
4 |
|
5 |
e.g. `ln -s X Y` will create link Y that always refers to |
6 |
X whenever anyone tries to access Y. but is it possible |
7 |
to have a fancier linking that creates a linking file that |
8 |
contains some kind of access list, that specifies things |
9 |
like: |
10 |
|
11 |
- if accessing process is named P1, then direct it to X1. |
12 |
- if accessing process is named P2, then direct it to X2. |
13 |
- ... |
14 |
- if accessing process is named Pn, then direct it to Xn. |
15 |
- else, default to X0. |

i think if we have this, we can solve slotting in a simpler |
18 |
way. e.g. we install libs in their own non-conflicting |
19 |
locations, and then install for them such fancy sym links |
20 |
with access that routes accessing processes to the right |
21 |
version of the lib. |
22 |
|
23 |
thoughts? |
