Link to a directory
Hi Experts,
Is there any way to link the contents (subdirectories/files) of a existing directory A to another existent directory B..
The relative path of /root/Directory A/
Directory A
|__ Subdirectory A1
|__File A
|__File B
|__ Subdirectory A2
|__File A
|__File B
The relative path of /root/Directory B/
Directory B
|__ Subdirectory A1
|__File A
|__File B
|__ Subdirectory A2
|__File A
|__File B
Directory B is controlled by a Version Control system, so obviously, we did not want this to be a symbolic link from Directory A. We will be making the modifications on Directory A, which we are expecting to reflect in Directory B.
Lets say, if i modify some contents in File A of the subdirectory A1 of the root directory A, then it should get reflected in the same path of the directory B too.
Your valuable inputs and help appreciated.

tiffsetsubdirectory
TIFFSetDirectory(3T) TIFFSetDirectory(3T)
NAME
TIFFSetDirectory, TIFFSetSubDirectory - set the current directory for an open TIFF file
SYNOPSIS
#include <tiffio.h>
int TIFFSetDirectory(TIFF* tif, tdir_t dirnum)
int TIFFSetSubDirectory(TIFF* tif, uint32 diroff)
DESCRIPTION
TIFFSetDirectory changes the current directory and reads its contents with TIFFReadDirectory. The parameter dirnum specifies the sub-
file/directory as an integer number, with the first directory numbered zero.
TIFFSetSubDirectory acts like TIFFSetDirectory, except the directory is specified as a file offset instead of an index; this is required
for accessing subdirectories linked through a SubIFD tag.
RETURN VALUES
On successful return 1 is returned. Otherwise, 0 is returned if dirnum or diroff specifies a non-existent directory, or if an error was
encountered while reading the directory's contents.
DIAGNOSTICS
All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3T) routine.
%s: Error fetching directory count. An error was encountered while reading the ``directory count'' field.
%s: Error fetching directory link. An error was encountered while reading the ``link value'' that points to the next directory in a file.
