~: touch a
~: ln -s a b
~: stat -c "%n" a
a
~: stat -c "%n" b
b
~: stat -Lc "%n" b
b
the last command should return 'a'. To be more verbose:
~: stat b
File: `b' -> `a'
Size: 1 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 symbolic link
Device: 10h/16d Inode: 60112068 Links: 1
~: stat -L b
File: `b'
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file
Device: 10h/16d Inode: 60112022 Links: 1
[...]
one cannot get the righthand part of dereference only (the same applies
to %N).
