+ * Note: setting DIR_ITERATOR_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS affects resolving the
+ * starting path as well (e.g., attempting to iterate starting at a
+ * symbolic link pointing to a directory without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS will
+ * result in an error).

* Warning: circular symlinks are also followed when
* DIR_ITERATOR_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS is set. The iteration may end up with
* an ELOOP if they happen and DIR_ITERATOR_PEDANTIC is set.
