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'. + +include::man-common/help-version.adoc[] + +== BUGS + +To be discovered. + +== AUTHORS + +The original *namei* program was written by mailto:rogers@amadeus.wr.tek.com[Roger Southwick]. + +The program was rewritten by Karel Zak mailto:kzak@redhat.com[Karel Zak]. + +== SEE ALSO + +*ls*(1), +*stat*(1), +*symlink*(7) + +include::man-common/bugreports.adoc[] + +include::man-common/footer.adoc[] + +ifdef::translation[] +include::man-common/translation.adoc[] +endif::[] -- cgit v1.2.3
