Re: Is this the correct behavior of showlink?

Thank you, Charlie, for explaining that. I was confused by the manual text "showlink: It will display what groups of files are linked together." I thought I could use it to tell if dist and accept are hard linked together.

You can tell this by doing "ls -i dist accept". It will display each file's "inode number" next to the filename; if the files are hard-linked to each other, then these numbers will be the same.
