Separately, you might want to run the command once first without the -print0 and the xargs in the pipeline just to get a list of the files that will be affected: % find . -type l You could save this to a file and inspect or save it or you could just pipe it to "less" to view it directly. If you want to see the targets of the links as well as the links, do this: % find . -type l -print0 |xargs -0 ls -l (Again, send to a file or pipe through "less.")
