Follow-up Comment #2:
"""%l Object of symbolic link (empty string if file is not a symbolic
link)."""
When -L is in effect, find follows symbolic links.
The %l format specifier shows the target of the symbolic link find is
examining. But the file find is examining is not a symbolic link in this case,
since find has already resolved the link - it is examining the file the link
points to (unless the link is broken). Hence %l must expand to the empty
string:
