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.

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}
