This is the command namei that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
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.
