File name ending with @
Hi

Current SCO Unix 5.05
I see that there are filenames with @ at the end of file name for example

in the /usr/lib there is file lpadmin@

what does the @ represent when it is at the end of the file name

Thanks

-F
Put a slash (/) after each filename if the file is a directory, an asterisk () if the file is executable, a vertical bar (|) if it is a FIFO, and an at sign (@) if the file is a symbolic link.

If you use
Code:
ls -li

Will list the file and the name of the file it is linked to.

Does your -i get the inode of the link or the linked-to?

The link not the target:
Code:
$ ls -lid vtmp
1556229 lrwxr-xr-x   1 dgp    develop         16 May 13 17:26 vtmp -> /var/tmp/dgp
$ ls -lid /var/tmp/dgp
 36390 drwxr-xr-x   6 dgp    develop       1024 Oct 28 09:33 /var/tmp/dgp
$

I have my own piece of /var/tmp where I get no name collisions, and lose nothing on reboot.
