tests/readlink.py

obsolete: use parsers.fm1readmarker if it exists for a ~38% perf win

This moves perfloadmarkers on my linux workstation (63494 markers from
mpm, crew, and myself) performance from
! wall 0.357657 comb 0.360000 user 0.350000 sys 0.010000 (best of 28)
to
! wall 0.222345 comb 0.220000 user 0.210000 sys 0.010000 (best of 41)
which is a pretty good improvement.

On my BSD machine, which is ancient and slow, before:
! wall 3.584964 comb 3.578125 user 3.539062 sys 0.039062 (best of 3)
after:
! wall 2.267974 comb 2.265625 user 2.195312 sys 0.070312 (best of 5)


I feel like we could do better by moving the whole generator function
into C, but I didn't want to tackle that right away.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
