<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>namei</B>
|
|
|
|
interprets its arguments as pathnames to any type
|
|
of Unix file (symlinks, files, directories, and so forth).
|
|
<B>namei</B>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
This program is useful for finding "too many levels of
|
|
symbolic links" problems.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
For each line of output,
|
|
<B>namei</B>
|
|
|
|
uses the following characters to identify the file type found:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
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
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>namei</B>
|
|
|
|
prints an informative message when
|
|
the maximum number of symbolic links this system can have has been exceeded.
