Hi, No answer in boost users so posted here. I would like to know how to "best" represent a filesystem using BGL. In this case the filesystem I want to describe is the unix/linux filesystem and its various paths from the root node "/". My questions: 1. What kind of graph is this filesystem and what is best to use in BGL to describe this? 2. How can I also best describe symbolic links (symlinks) and what kind of graph would this be, does this graph defer from the above? 3. How can I describe the metadata of a file (including symlinks) using BGL eg. given a path /usr/bin/ls I also want to stores its creation date, acl etc in BGL, how can I best describe this, is there where properties come in handy? 4. Are there any examples on this anywhere and/or does the BGL book describe any examples on this? Thanks Shams --
