+\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.
