Function Documentation

get_path_uid()

int pip._internal.utils.compat.get_path_uid

(

str

path

)

Return path's uid.

Does not follow symlinks:
    https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/935#discussion_r5307003

Placed this function in compat due to differences on AIX and
Jython, that should eventually go away.

:raises OSError: When path is a symlink or can't be read.
