From 7ca5c51cc8c54f35b6265d815d8a8be19e0821b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartosz Golaszewski Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 17:26:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i2c-tools: only try /dev/i2c/* if opening /dev/i2c-* fails with ENOENT Trying to access /dev/i2c/* on every error after opening /dev/i2c-* can mislead users who e.g. don't have root access. Instead of bailing-out with "permission denied" we currently print "no such file or directory". Fix it by trying open("/dev/i2c/%d") only if we got ENOENT. Upstream i2cdetect tries to get any info it can from /sys and /proc even when invoked by an unprivileged user, but we don't want to add unnecessary bloat.
