readlink
— display
target of symbolic link on standard output
readlink |
[-fn ] file |
The readlink
utility when invoked with the
pathname of a symbolic link as its argument dereferences the symbolic link
and prints the name of target on standard output. If the
-f
option is not specified and
readlink
is invoked with an argument other than the
pathname of a symbolic link, it exits with a nonzero exit code without
printing anything.
The options are as follows:
The readlink
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
The readlink
utility first appeared in
OpenBSD 2.1.
