hard link
Code:
ls -li /usr/bin/at
8041 -r-sr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  19540 Apr 21  2001 /usr/bin/at*

Now we will use inode number to find other links since hard links have same inode number.
Code:
find / -inum 8041 -print

For soft link enter
Code:
find /dir_path -type l

this will give you soft links in directory.
or
Code:
find /dir_path -type l -ls|awk '{ print $10,$12}'

will give soft links and associated filename
