.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility displays information about the file pointed to by
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
Read, write, or execute permissions of the named file are not required, but
|
|
all directories listed in the pathname leading to the file must be
|
|
searchable.
|
|
If no argument is given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays information about the file descriptor for standard input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When invoked as
|
|
.Nm readlink ,
|
|
only the target of the symbolic link is printed.
|
|
If the given argument is not a symbolic link and the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option is not specified,
|
|
.Nm readlink
|
|
will print nothing and exit with an error.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option is specified, the output is canonicalized by following every symlink
|
|
in every component of the given path recursively.
|
|
.Nm readlink
|
|
will resolve both absolute and relative paths, and return the absolute pathname
|
|
corresponding to
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
In this case, the argument does not need to be a symbolic link.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The information displayed is obtained by calling
|
|
.Xr lstat 2
|
|
with the given argument and evaluating the returned structure.
|
|
The default format displays the
|
|
.Fa st_dev ,
|
|
.Fa st_ino ,
|
|
.Fa st_mode ,
|
|
.Fa st_nlink ,
|
|
.Fa st_uid ,
|
|
.Fa st_gid ,
|
|
.Fa st_rdev ,
|
|
.Fa st_size ,
|
|
.Fa st_atime ,
|
|
.Fa st_mtime ,
|
|
.Fa st_ctime ,
|
|
.Fa st_birthtime ,
|
|
.Fa st_blksize ,
|
|
.Fa st_blocks ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa st_flags
|
|
fields, in that order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XFXformatXXX
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
As in
|
|
.Xr ls 1 ,
|
|
display a slash
|
|
.Pq Sq /
|
|
immediately after each pathname that is a directory, an
|
|
asterisk
|
|
.Pq Sq *
|
|
after each that is executable, an at sign
|
|
.Pq Sq @
|
|
after each symbolic link, a percent sign
|
|
.Pq Sq %
|
|
after each whiteout, an equal sign
|
|
.Pq Sq =
|
|
after each socket, and a vertical bar
|
|
.Pq Sq \&|
|
|
after each that is a FIFO.
|
|
The use of
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
implies
|
|
.Fl l .
|
|
.It Fl f Ar format
|
|
Display information using the specified format.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx FORMATS
|
|
section for a description of valid formats.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Use
|
|
.Xr stat 2
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Xr lstat 2 .
|
|
The information reported by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will refer to the target of
|
|
.Ar file ,
|
|
if file is a symbolic link, and not to
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
itself.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Display output in
|
|
.Ic ls Fl lT
|
|
format.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Do not force a newline to appear at the end of each piece of output.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Suppress failure messages if calls to
|
|
.Xr stat 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr lstat 2
|
|
fail.
|
|
When run as
|
|
.Nm readlink ,
|
|
error messages are automatically suppressed.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Display raw information.
|
|
That is, for all the fields in the stat-structure,
|
|
display the raw, numerical value (for example, times in seconds since the
|
|
epoch, etc.)
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Display information in
|
|
.Dq shell output ,
|
|
suitable for initializing variables.
|
|
When run as
|
|
.Nm readlink ,
|
|
suppress error messages.
|
|
This is equivalent to specifying
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
FMT="st_dev=%d st_ino=%i st_mode=%#p st_nlink=%l st_uid=%u st_gid=%g"
|
|
FMT="$FMT st_rdev=%r st_size=%z st_atime=%Sa st_mtime=%Sm st_ctime=%Sc"
|
|
FMT="$FMT st_birthtime=%SB st_blksize=%k st_blocks=%b st_flags=%f"
|
|
stat -t %s -f "$FMT" .
|
|
.Ed
|
|
Note that if you use a timeformat that contains embedded whitespace or shell
|
|
meta-characters you will need to include appropriate quoting so the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
output remains valid.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar timefmt
|
|
Display timestamps using the specified format.
|
|
This format is
|
|
passed directly to
|
|
.Xr strftime 3
|
|
with the extension that %f prints nanoseconds if available.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Turn off quiet mode.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Display information in a more verbose way as known from some Linux
|
|
distributions.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss FORMATS
|
|
Format strings are similar to
|
|
.Xr printf 3
|
|
formats in that they start with
|
|
.Cm % ,
|
|
are then followed by a sequence of formatting characters, and end in
|
|
a character that selects the field of the struct stat which is to be
|
|
formatted.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Cm %
|
|
is immediately followed by one of
|
|
.Cm n ,
|
|
.Cm t ,
|
|
.Cm % ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm @ ,
|
|
then a newline character, a tab character, a percent character,
|
|
or the current file number is printed, otherwise the string is
|
|
examined for the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any of the following optional flags:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Cm #
|
|
Selects an alternate output form for string, octal and hexadecimal output.
|
|
String output will be encoded in
|
|
.Xr vis 3
|
|
style.
|
|
Non-zero octal output will have a leading zero.
|
|
Non-zero hexadecimal output will have
|
|
.Dq 0x
|
|
prepended to it.
|
|
.It Cm +
|
|
Asserts that a sign indicating whether a number is positive or negative
|
|
should always be printed.
|
|
Non-negative numbers are not usually printed with a sign.
|
|
.It Cm -
|
|
Aligns string output to the left of the field, instead of to the right.
|
|
.It Cm 0
|
|
Sets the fill character for left padding to the 0 character, instead of
|
|
a space.
|
|
.It space
|
|
Reserves a space at the front of non-negative signed output fields.
|
|
A
|
|
.Sq Cm +
|
|
overrides a space if both are used.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Then the following fields:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Cm size
|
|
An optional decimal digit string specifying the minimum field width.
|
|
.It Cm prec
|
|
An optional precision composed of a decimal point
|
|
.Sq Cm \&.
|
|
and a decimal digit string that indicates the maximum string length,
|
|
the number of digits to appear after the decimal point in floating point
|
|
output, or the minimum number of digits to appear in numeric output.
|
|
.It Cm fmt
|
|
An optional output format specifier which is one of
|
|
.Cm D ,
|
|
.Cm O ,
|
|
.Cm U ,
|
|
.Cm X ,
|
|
.Cm F ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm S .
|
|
These represent signed decimal output, octal output, unsigned decimal
|
|
output, hexadecimal output, floating point output, and string output,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
Some output formats do not apply to all fields.
|
|
Floating point output only applies to timespec fields (the
|
|
.Cm a ,
|
|
.Cm m ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm c
|
|
fields).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The special output specifier
|
|
.Cm S
|
|
may be used to indicate that the output, if
|
|
applicable, should be in string format.
|
|
May be used in combination with
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Cm amc
|
|
Display date in
|
|
.Xr strftime 3
|
|
format with the extension that %f prints nanoseconds if available.

|
Displays the name of
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
.It Cm T
|
|
Displays the type of
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
.It Cm Y
|
|
Insert a `` -> '' into the output.
|
|
Note that the default output format for
|
|
.Cm Y
|
|
is a string, but if specified explicitly, these four characters are
|
|
prepended.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Cm sub
|
|
An optional sub field specifier (high, middle, or low).
|
|
Only applies to the
|
|
.Cm p ,
|
|
.Cm d ,
|
|
.Cm r ,
|
|
.Cm T ,

The absolute pathname corresponding to the file.

Most field specifiers default to

as an output form, with the

exception of

which defaults to
