All "regular" files are hard links. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link> the stat(1) command tells you how many files point at a given inode (so, if "Links:" > 1, you have two filenames and one file): $ touch a $ ln a b $ stat a File: `a' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: fe01h/65025d Inode: 1287087 Links: 2 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/ jon) Gid: ( 1000/ jon) Access: 2006-10-17 22:47:53.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2006-10-17 22:47:53.000000000 +0100 Change: 2006-10-17 22:47:54.000000000 +0100 > Is it possible to find the hard links of the same file? > Ie, group the above finding into same file groups?
