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
