I can add as many links as I want to an object in the IFS, and each
link
allows me to access the object. Easy. Also I can remove a link.
Now I want to know all the links to a given object. Is there a command
to show this?
The reason I asked about hard vs. soft is that they are handled differently.
For hard links,
ls -i myfile will tell me the inode of myfile. <myinode>
Now I can do:
find /filesystemtop -x -inum myinode
Or ...
find /filesystemtop -x -inum $(ls -I /path/to/myfile | cut -d' ' -f1)
Since soft links work differently, you need a different approach. You can
use the find command with -ls switch to show all files, and then grep for
'-> myfile' But the trick is that myfile may be a qualified, relative or
un-pathed value.
