Direct Known Subclasses:

Nfs3ReadlinkResponse

public class NfsReadlinkResponse
extends NfsResponseBase

The response, as specified by RFC 1813 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1813).

This method reads the data associated with a symbolic link. The data is an ASCII string that is opaque to the server. That is, whether created by the NFS version 3 protocol software from a client or created locally on the server, the data in a symbolic link is not interpreted when created, but is simply stored.

A symbolic link is nominally a pointer to another file. The data is not necessarily interpreted by the server, just stored in the file. It is possible for a client implementation to store a path name that is not meaningful to the server operating system in a symbolic link. A READLINK operation returns the data to the client for interpretation. If different implementations want to share access to symbolic links, then they must agree on the interpretation of the data in the symbolic link.

Constructor Detail

NfsReadlinkResponse

public NfsReadlinkResponse(int nfsVersion)

Creates the response, as specified by RFC 1813 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1813).

This method reads the data associated with a symbolic link. The data is an ASCII string that is opaque to the server. That is, whether created by the NFS version 3 protocol software from a client or created locally on the server, the data in a symbolic link is not interpreted when created, but is simply stored.

A symbolic link is nominally a pointer to another file. The data is not necessarily interpreted by the server, just stored in the file. It is possible for a client implementation to store a path name that is not meaningful to the server operating system in a symbolic link. A READLINK operation returns the data to the client for interpretation. If different implementations want to share access to symbolic links, then they must agree on the interpretation of the data in the symbolic link.

Parameters:

nfsVersion - The NFS version number. This is ignored for now, as only NFSv3 is supported, but is included to allow future support for other versions.
