Is there any non-hackish way to detect the case-sensitivity of a
filesystem, like a system call? statvfs doesn't appear to do it
and statfs doesn't help either (case-sensitive and case-
insensitive hfs+ have the same f_type and f_fstypename). Or is
there no avoiding the "create foo, open Foo" hack?
You can use pathconf(2) with the _PC_CASE_SENSITIVE selector. Note
an EINVAL result for this selector generally implies case-sensitive.
Thanks! It might be nice if _PC_CASE_SENSITIVE was in the man page
for pathconf...
Cheers,
