Does a prelinked file size remain static

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have been trying to find out if a prelinked files size always remains
the same. Some simple testing of unprelinking and then prelinking a file
seems to indicate that the eventual size of the file does remain the
same. I know that the files MD5 hash value, its inode number, and some
other file attributes change, but I was wondering about the file size.
Whilst the file does change size when going from unprelinked to
prelinked (or vice-versa), once it is prelinked it then seems to remain
the same regardless of how often the file is re-prelinked.


Anyone any comments?

Thanks,

John.
