[sf-lug] Simple way to track links-to-links to their final resolution?

[RBV]

Matt:

First, thanks!  "readlink -f" does indeed provide me with the ultimate
destination.

Do you happen to know if there's any way to also list the intermediate
"hops"?  I tried all readlink's -f, -e, and -m parameters without luck in
that regard.

Cheers & thanks 'gain,
Riley
