(file-symlink-p FILENAME) Return non-nil if file FILENAME is the name of a symbolic link. The value is the link target, as a string. Otherwise it returns nil. This function returns t when given the name of a symlink that points to a nonexistent file. [back] Arguably a bad name for the function, since *-p functions usually just return t or nil. -- David Kastrup ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I think you want file-truename or file-chase-links. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
