The crappy string is in fortune.c (stupid programmers !!) :
/*
* is_existant:
* Return TRUE if the file exists, FALSE otherwise.
*/
int is_existant(char *file)
{
struct stat staat;
if (stat(file, &staat) == 0)
return TRUE;
switch(errno)
{
case ENOENT:
case ENOTDIR:
return FALSE;
default:
perror("fortune: bad juju in is_existant");
exit(1);
}
}
It is only called from add_file which add files ... I guess to the list
of fortune files ...
The whole source is an abomination btw :-/
Do someone knows a tool to expose the call graph of a C program ?
Thanks,
Aurélien.
