[Bayonne-devel] ./status.bin --help gives out bogus information

[Erik Enge]

>From bayonne/server/status.cpp:

        strcpy(buffer, keypaths.getRunfiles());
        strcat(buffer, "/bayonne.nodes");
        if(!canModify(buffer))
        {
                strcpy(buffer, getenv("HOME"));
                strcat(buffer, "/.bayonne.nodes");
        }

        if(argc != 1)
        {
                cerr << "use: bayonne_status" << endl;
                exit(-1);
        }

I do not have a "bayonne_status" binary in my 1.2.6 installation so the
help information it prints is not of much value.  Is there any reason
that is unobvious to me why we cannot use argv[0] instead of
"bayonne_status"?

When I call the binary without any arguments, the following happens:

  address@hidden /share/sys/bayonne/bayonne/lib/bayonne/1.2.6/status.bin 
  bayonne_status: /root/.bayonne.nodes: cannot access

Shouldn't it have used the path I told it about via --prefix here?
Perhaps that's what it does via keypaths.getRunfiles().
