Or symlinks:
Description: scan/change symbolic links
Symlinks scans directories for symbolic links and lists
them on stdout. Each link is prefixed with a classification
of relative, absolute, dangling, messy, lengthy or other_fs.
.
Symlinks can also convert absolute links (within the same filesystem)
to relative links and can delete messy and dangling links.
