ls -l --show-me-each-link-in-the-symlink-chain
ls -l shows you the start of the symlink chain, ls -lL shows you the end of the symlink chain, but to see each link, one needs many ls -l's. There ought to be an option to see each link. Sure, there is usually just one link, but sometimes there is more. ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
