_______________________________________________________
Details:
man find says that -printf supports this format specifier:
%Y File's type (like %y), plus follow symlinks: L=loop, N=nonexistent
but
$ ln -s nonexistent broken
$ find broken -printf '%p %y %Y\n'
broken l l
The man page seems to imply that that should have been
broken l N
instead.
