ls on a symbolic link

Hi all,

Can anyone please confirm if the command below is the only way that I can get what the symbolic link is set to?
Code:
mnlxd110(oracle)[posd2]/db/posd2/dba$: ls -l | grep "^l"
lrwxrwxrwx   1 oracle   dba           28 Aug  9  2011 bdump -> diag/rdbms/posp1/posp1/trace
mnlxd110(oracle)[posd2]/db/posd2/dba$: ls -l | grep "^l" | awk '{ print $11 }'
diag/rdbms/posp1/posp1/trace
mnlxd110(oracle)[posd2]/db/posd2/dba$:

Is there any way to run some sort of ls -1 that will do the same thing as above?

Feedback much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
