When you ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 That number after the mode is the number of hard links. Hard links are all literally the file and share its attributes so I don't think one would be considered the original. As for sym links they are just files on disk that afaik the target knows nothing about. On Wed, Oct 14, 2020, at 3:56 PM, a wrote:
Hi
If I have a file or directory and would like to now if it is the original file or directory of a link can I confirm the fact by reading an inode some where or some how?
Thanks, a
