I recently had cause to try and use "ls -L file" to find the linked
file. Its not working (I wanted to use the return string in a shell
program).
Here is what I did to test this:
$ cd /tmp
$ cat > goop
hello world
$ ln -s /tmp/goop /tmp/foop
$ file foop
foop: symbolic link to `/tmp/goop'
$ ls -L foop
foop
$ ls -L goop
goop
Is this a known problem (ie should I create a bug report on it)?
