+== NAME
+
+namei - follow a pathname until a terminal point is found
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+*namei* [options] _pathname_...
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+*namei* interprets its arguments as pathnames to any type of Unix file (symlinks, files, directories, and so forth). *namei* 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.
+
+This program is useful for finding "too many levels of symbolic links" problems.
+
+For each line of output, *namei* uses the following characters to identify the file type found:
+
+....
+   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
+....
+
+*namei* prints an informative message when the maximum number of symbolic links this system can have has been exceeded.
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+*-l*, *--long*::
+Use the long listing format (same as *-m -o -v*).
+
+*-m*, *--modes*::
+Show the mode bits of each file type in the style of *ls*(1), for example 'rwxr-xr-x'.
+
+*-n*, *--nosymlinks*::
+Don't follow symlinks.
+
+*-o*, *--owners*::
+Show owner and group name of each file.
+
+*-v*, *--vertical*::
+Vertically align the modes and owners.
+
+*-x*, *--mountpoints*::
+Show mountpoint directories with a 'D' rather than a 'd'.
+
+*-Z*, *--context*::
+Show security context of the file or "?" if not available.
+The support for security contexts is optional and does not have to be compiled to the *namei* binary.
