RE: IFS links

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?

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.

I may have made this too complex for your example. If all your links are in
one directory, you can identify them with ls -l <--that is a letter, not a
digit. Does that help?
