When I use “lynx” via the terminal I believe it is using an symbolic link, but my Google searches have failed to show me how to determine the symbolic path value.
That is, I would like to determine the symbolic link value for “lynx”, and a few others, e.g. wget, etc.
Thanks for any insights and suggestions.
P.S. I am using the terminal on a Mac machine.
Try:
whichdoes not follow symbolic links. Instead, it gets only to the symbolic link which got executed.readlinkcan then follow this symbolic link to the original binary/executable.
