+.SH "NAME"
+namei \- follow a pathname until a terminal point is found
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBnamei\fP [options] \fIpathname\fP...
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+\fBnamei\fP interprets its arguments as pathnames to any type of Unix file (symlinks, files, directories, and so forth). \fBnamei\fP then follows each pathname until an endpoint is found (a file, a directory, a device node, etc). If it finds a symbolic link, it shows the link, and starts following it, indenting the output to show the context.
+.sp
+This program is useful for finding "too many levels of symbolic links" problems.
+.sp
+For each line of output, \fBnamei\fP uses the following characters to identify the file type found:
+.sp
+.if n .RS 4
+.nf
+.fam C
+   f: = the pathname currently being resolved
+    d = directory
+    l = symbolic link (both the link and its contents are output)
+    s = socket
+    b = block device
+    c = character device
+    p = FIFO (named pipe)
+    \- = regular file
+    ? = an error of some kind
+.fam
+.fi
+.if n .RE
+.sp
+\fBnamei\fP prints an informative message when the maximum number of symbolic links this system can have has been exceeded.
