I gave you that example so that you can find out yourself. The uzip script is quite mature. Make a zip archive and run uzip on it. Basically, extfs takes the output of "ls -al", so you can use it as well. > -rw-r--r-- 1 500 500 445527 Feb 05 2002 20:34 Some name.jpg -> > another name.jpg That's clearly a regular file. Make a link and see the difference. > 2) What to do with files with " -> " in their names ? $ /usr/local/share/mc/extfs/uzip list arch.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 500 500 445527 Feb 05 2002 20:34 a -> b Works for me. Still extfs is not designed to understand all situations, just most of them. You can still consuse it: <proski@portland ln>$ ln -sf "b -> c" a <proski@portland ln>$ ln -sf c "a -> b" <proski@portland ln>$ ls -al total 1 drwxrwxr-x 2 proski proski 96 Nov 5 08:44 . drwxrwxr-x 6 proski proski 144 Nov 5 08:43 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 proski proski 6 Nov 5 08:44 a -> b -> c lrwxrwxrwx 1 proski proski 1 Nov 5 08:44 a -> b -> c Now do "ls -al >list" and then "cd list#lslR" in mc to see what I mean. extfs doesn't check the size of symlinks, but it checks the file type field in the permissions. It can be improved if you really care. > 3) How to test if output produced by the script is good ?
