symlinks

scan/change symbolic links

Symlinks is a simple tool that helps find and remedy problematic symbolic links on a system.

Description

Symlinks scans directories for symbolic links, identifying dangling, relative, absolute, messy, and other_fs links. It can also change absolute links to relative within a given filesystem.

Installation

Source:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Usage

Scan:

$ symlinks -r [path]

Show all symlinks:

$ symlinks -rv [path]

Convert absolute symlink to relative:

$ symlinks -rc  [path]

More options:

$ symlinks -h

Changes

  • v1.4-1 Added Mac OS X compatibility.

  • v1.4 Incorporate patches from Fedora.

  • v1.3 More messy-link fixes, new -o flag for other_fs.

  • v1.2 Added -s flag to shorten links with redundant path elements. Also includes code to remove excess slashes from paths.
