slinkls -- list the structure of a filesystem utilizing links and slinks.
<![CDATA[
slinkls [-links] [-slinks] [<path>...]
]]>
slinkls lists the structure of filesystems utilizing high-level
link syntax. It reduces structural assertions to the highest-possible
level and lists the results. This takes next to forever.
But it helps the user understand what
the slink manpage
is doing,
and helps us debug
the slink manpage
and other programs.
A slink is a generalization of a symbolic link. If we say
A=B>, read ``there is a slink from A to B'', this means
that contents of B appear to be contents of A through symbolic links.
This of course does not preclude other contents of A.
If A and B are files, then this degenerates into a normal symbolic link.
