.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility displays information about the file pointed to by
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
Read, write, or execute permissions of the named file are not required, but
|
|
all directories listed in the pathname leading to the file must be
|
|
searchable.
|
|
If no argument is given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays information about the file descriptor for standard input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When invoked as
|
|
.Nm readlink ,
|
|
only the target of the symbolic link is printed.
|
|
If the given argument is not a symbolic link and the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option is not specified,
|
|
.Nm readlink
|
|
will print nothing and exit with an error.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option is specified, the output is canonicalized by following every symlink
|
|
in every component of the given path recursively.
|
|
.Nm readlink
|
|
will resolve both absolute and relative paths, and return the absolute pathname
|
|
corresponding to
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
In this case, the argument does not need to be a symbolic link.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The information displayed is obtained by calling
|
|
.Xr lstat 2
|
|
with the given argument and evaluating the returned structure.
|
|
The default format displays the
|
|
.Fa st_dev ,
|
|
.Fa st_ino ,
|
|
.Fa st_mode ,
|
|
.Fa st_nlink ,
|
|
.Fa st_uid ,
|
|
.Fa st_gid ,
|
|
.Fa st_rdev ,
|
|
.Fa st_size ,
|
|
.Fa st_atime ,
|
|
.Fa st_mtime ,
|
|
.Fa st_ctime ,
|
|
.Fa st_birthtime ,
|
|
.Fa st_blksize ,
|
|
.Fa st_blocks ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa st_flags
|
|
fields, in that order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
As in
|
|
.Xr ls 1 ,
|
|
display a slash
|
|
.Pq Ql /
|
|
immediately after each pathname that is a directory,
|
|
an asterisk
|
|
.Pq Ql *
|
|
after each that is executable,
|
|
an at sign
|
|
.Pq Ql @
|
|
after each symbolic link,
|
|
a percent sign
|
|
.Pq Ql %
|
|
after each whiteout,
|
|
an equal sign
|
|
.Pq Ql =
|
|
after each socket,
|
|
and a vertical bar
|
|
.Pq Ql |
|
|
after each that is a FIFO.
|
|
The use of
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
implies
|
|
.Fl l .
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
Treat each argument as the hexadecimal representation of an NFS file handle,
|
|
and use
|
|
.Xr fhstat 2
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Xr lstat 2 .
|
|
This requires root privileges.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Use
|
|
.Xr stat 2
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Xr lstat 2 .
|
|
The information reported by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will refer to the target of
|
|
.Ar file ,
|
|
if file is a symbolic link, and not to
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
itself.
|
|
If the link is broken or the target does not exist,
|
|
fall back on
|
|
.Xr lstat 2
|
|
and report information about the link.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Do not force a newline to appear at the end of each piece of output.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Suppress failure messages if calls to
|
|
.Xr stat 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr lstat 2
|
|
fail.
|
|
When run as
|
|
.Nm readlink ,
|
|
error messages are automatically suppressed.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar format
|
|
Display information using the specified format.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx Formats
|
|
section for a description of valid formats.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Display output in
|
|
.Nm ls Fl lT
|
|
format.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Display raw information.
|
|
That is, for all the fields in the
|
|
.Vt stat
|
|
structure,
|
|
display the raw, numerical value (for example, times in seconds since the
|
|
epoch, etc.).
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Display information in
|
|
.Dq shell output
|
|
format,
|
|
suitable for initializing variables.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Display information in a more verbose way as known from some
|
|
.Tn Linux
|
|
distributions.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar timefmt
|
|
Display timestamps using the specified format.
|
|
This format is
|
|
passed directly to
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Formats
|
|
Format strings are similar to
|
|
.Xr printf 3
|
|
formats in that they start with
|
|
.Cm % ,
|
|
are then followed by a sequence of formatting characters, and end in
|
|
a character that selects the field of the
|
|
.Vt "struct stat"
|
|
which is to be formatted.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Cm %
|
|
is immediately followed by one of
|
|
.Cm n , t , % ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm @ ,
|
|
then a newline character, a tab character, a percent character,
|
|
or the current file number is printed, otherwise the string is
|
|
examined for the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any of the following optional flags:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm #
|
|
Selects an alternate output form for octal and hexadecimal output.
|
|
Non-zero octal output will have a leading zero, and non-zero
|
|
hexadecimal output will have
|
|
.Dq Li 0x
|
|
prepended to it.
|
|
.It Cm +
|
|
Asserts that a sign indicating whether a number is positive or negative
|
|
should always be printed.
|
|
Non-negative numbers are not usually printed
|
|
with a sign.
|
|
.It Cm -
|
|
Aligns string output to the left of the field, instead of to the right.
|
|
.It Cm 0
|
|
Sets the fill character for left padding to the
|
|
.Ql 0
|
|
character, instead of a space.
|
|
.It space
|
|
Reserves a space at the front of non-negative signed output fields.
|
|
A
|
|
.Sq Cm +
|
|
overrides a space if both are used.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Then the following fields:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ar size
|
|
An optional decimal digit string specifying the minimum field width.
|
|
.It Ar prec
|
|
An optional precision composed of a decimal point
|
|
.Sq Cm \&.
|
|
and a decimal digit string that indicates the maximum string length,
|
|
the number of digits to appear after the decimal point in floating point
|
|
output, or the minimum number of digits to appear in numeric output.
|
|
.It Ar fmt
|
|
An optional output format specifier which is one of
|
|
.Cm D , O , U , X , F ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm S .
|
|
These represent signed decimal output, octal output, unsigned decimal
|
|
output, hexadecimal output, floating point output, and string output,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
Some output formats do not apply to all fields.
|
|
Floating point output only applies to
|
|
.Vt timespec
|
|
fields (the
|
|
.Cm a , m ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm c
|
|
fields).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The special output specifier
|
|
.Cm S
|
|
may be used to indicate that the output, if
|
|
applicable, should be in string format.
|
|
May be used in combination with:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm amc
|
|
Display date in
|
|
.Xr strftime 3
|

|
|

|
|
into the output.
|
|
Note that the default output format
|
|
for
|
|

|
|
is a string, but if specified explicitly, these four characters are
|
|
prepended.
|
|
.El
|
