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.

ls -l shows the number of links for each file. Is there a command that will show the link sources for a specific file? Running find on the entire filesystem and doing a little Perl "magic" is the only method I'm aware of. I'm running SunOS 5.8.
Thanks. (6 Replies)

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.
