To find symbolic links (symlinks) in Unix or Linux, you can use the find
command in combination with the -type
option. The -type
option allows you to search for specific types of files, including symbolic links.
Here’s the basic syntax for finding symlinks:
find /path/to/search -type l
Where /path/to/search
is the directory or file system that you want to search for symbolic links. The -type l
option specifies that you’re searching for symbolic links.
For example, to search for symbolic links in the current directory and its subdirectories, you can use the following command:
find . -type l
This will list all the symbolic links in the current directory and its subdirectories.
