<h1> The <tt>s6-linkname</tt> program </h1>

<p>
 s6-linkname gives the content of a symbolic link or resolves a path.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     s6-linkname [ -f ] [ -n ] <em>path</em>
</pre>

<ul>
 <li> If <em>path</em> is a symbolic link, s6-linkname prints its
content then exits 0. </li>
 <li> Else it prints an error message and exits 111. </li>
</ul>

<h2> Options </h2>

<ul>
 <li> <tt>-f</tt>&nbsp;: s6-linkname fully resolves <em>path</em> then
prints the result on stdout. <em>path</em> does not have to be a symbolic
link. </li>
 <li> <tt>-n</tt>&nbsp;: do not print a newline after the result. </li>
</ul>
