find command

I know that you can find files that have X number of links.

From the Manpage. Use these with the find command.

-links n (some number of links)

-linkedto path
True if the file is the same physical file as the file specified by path (i.e., linked to path). This primary is similar to -inum, but correctly detects when a file is hard-linked to path, even when multiple file systems are searched.


I thought that I had heard of a way to find the links to a file, but I can't remember right now.

Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			 Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base(3pm)

NAME
Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base - Base class for tree tests and transformations SYNOPSIS
# Extending the Math::Symbolic::Custom class: package Math::Symbolic::Custom::MyTransformations; use Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base; BEGIN {*import = &Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base::aggregate_import} our $Aggregate_Export = [qw/apply_transformation1 .../]; sub apply_transformation1 { # ... } DESCRIPTION
This is a base class for your extensions to the Math::Symbolic::Custom class. To extend the class, just use the following template for your custom class: package Math::Symbolic::Custom::MyTransformations; use Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base; BEGIN {*import = &Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base::aggregate_import} our $Aggregate_Export = [...]; # exported subroutines listed here. # Now implement the subroutines. # Exported subroutine names must start with 'apply_', 'mod_', # 'is_', 'test_', 'contains_', or 'to_' # ... 1; EXPORT Uses a custom exporter implementation to export certain routines from the invoking namespace to the Math::Symbolic::Custom namespace. But... Nevermind. SUBROUTINES
aggregate_import aggregate_import() is the only public subroutine defined by Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base and should only be called in BEGIN blocks like the one shown in the SYNOPSIS above. AUTHOR
