Hello -
I’m familiar with using the ln command to create symbolic links. Is there
any way to have the system show you all the symbolic links that are
currently loaded or working? I’ve looked in the manuals but not found
anything.
I want to see what a symbolic link is but haven’t figured out anything that
works.

I do not know of a way to see them all.
I use the filemanager named “mqc”, it shows if a file is a link or a plain
one (among other usefull info).
Also it shows if a link is orphaned, very handy.

You’d have to go searching for them, something like “find / -type l”.

How to find an orphaned one?

No, just to find the ones that are loaded. I have a system written by
someone else that has a “dir” symbolic link - I’d like to find out what it
really is. I’m a beginner so that works against me some,

Might also want to check “prefix”, which is another sort of symlink
(a QNX-specific pathname redirection) …

Do you want to find out what “dir” is?
Then try “ls -l dir”.
It will show to what a program “dir” is sym-linked.
(My guess is it might be the “ln -s ls dir”, or “ln -s /bin/ls /bin/dir”)

find / -type l ! -exists ‘{}’ -ls
