- if I do (on csh):
-
- % ls -l /usr/bin/vi
- l--------- 1 root sys 2 Mar 29 1992 /usr/bin/vi -> ex
- % ls -L /usr/bin/vi
- /usr/bin/vi
-
- The man pages for ls say about "-L" parameter:
-
- -L If the file is a symbolic link, list the file that the link
- references.
-
- I should have obtained "/usr/bin/ex" with the ls -L commabd. Is it a bug?
- Is there something I did not understand?
-
- Thanks for any information.
