== 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.
|
|
|
|
