Can I modify "sendDir" function to skip the log_direction (default is "pg_log") ?
the sendDir function is :
static int64
sendDir(char *path, int basepathlen, bool sizeonly, List *tablespaces)
{
DIR *dir;
struct dirent *de;
char pathbuf[MAXPGPATH];
struct stat statbuf;
int64 size = 0;
dir = AllocateDir(path);
while ((de = ReadDir(dir, path)) != NULL)
{
/* Skip special stuff */
if (strcmp(de->d_name, ".") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "..") == 0)
continue;
.......
--if (strcmp(de->d_name, ".") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "..") == 0)
++ if (strcmp(de->d_name, ".") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "..") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "pg_log"))
Is there something wrong ?
Thanks,
wln
