Is path symbolic?

Is there a good way to determine if a file actually resides at the
specified location, or whether it's a symlink to somewhere else?

The correct file I'm looking at is:
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSH/etc/sshd_config

If I do an "ls" command, it shows it as a hard link. WRKLNK shows it as a
STMF. The tricky part is that the /etc/ directory IS a symlink.

Any ideas?
