# namei
# Follows a pathname (which can be a symbolic link) until a terminal point is found (a file/directory/char device etc).
# This program is useful for finding "too many levels of symbolic links" problems.
# More information: <https://manned.org/namei>.

# Resolve the pathnames specified as the argument parameters:
namei path/to/a path/to/b path/to/c

# Display the results in a long-listing format:
namei --long path/to/a path/to/b path/to/c

# Show the mode bits of each file type in the style of `ls`:
namei --modes path/to/a path/to/b path/to/c

# Show owner and group name of each file:
namei --owners path/to/a path/to/b path/to/c

# Don't follow symlinks while resolving:
namei --nosymlinks path/to/a path/to/b path/to/c
