Hello <whoever seeing this mail>,
i found a probably bug in ls -L (dereference) today, take a look:
-snip-
[magma@keymerkur124 /tmp]$ cd /tmp ; touch source ; chmod 000 source ; ln -s source
link
[magma@keymerkur124 /tmp]$ ls -l link ; ls -l source ; ls -Ll link
lrwxrwxrwx 1 magma freebits 6 Mai 22 21:11 link -> source
---------- 1 magma freebits 0 Mai 22 21:11 source
---------- 1 magma freebits 0 Mai 22 21:11 link
-snap-
Why doesn't ls -L print the dereferenced name of the file the link is
pointing? Any reason?
It would be great if it did it, because you can determine a file a
link is pointing to without a extravagant...
ls -l | sed 's,.* -> \(.*\),\1,'
...or something like that.
FYI:
-snip-
[magma@keymerkur124 /tmp]$ ls --version
ls (GNU fileutils) 4.0.36
-snap-
--
cheers,
Tobias
