Subject: add stat(1) % operator to just give a link name
Date: Sat, 04 Oct 2014 12:12:18 +0800

It seems there is no stat(1) % operator to get just a link name. The
best one can do is %N and dig it out of there from in front of the
arrow. Or one must use -L.

find(1) has

              %l     Object  of  symbolic  link (empty string if file is not a
                     symbolic link).
Severity set to 'wishlist' from 'normal' Request was from Assaf Gordon <assafgordon <at> gmail.com> to control <at> debbugs.gnu.org. (Fri, 19 Oct 2018 01:59:02 GMT) Full text and rfc822 format available.
