I think this is more of a documentation bug in usage(). ROOTDIR is in fact not mandatory - a list of zero or more items is expected, and each item processed in turn. I remember thinking about it for a second, and this was the most consistent and regular behavior, so the most attractive to my droid mind :-P Then, I think, ROOTDIR in synopsis of `symlinks-pl --help` should be: symlinks-pl [OPTION ...] [ROOTDIR ...] like OPTION instead of: symlinks-pl [OPTION ...] ROOTDIR ... to be more consistent to other command line tools. But I see your point and forget to say thanks for sharing. ;-) -- Regards, floyd

there is also the app-misc/symlinks package,
TBH, I don’t expected there exists a package for this, so I’ve never
searched for it and its additional features. Thanks for the input Ian.
and my own baby for the same purpose:
https://very.loosely.org/paste/symlinks-pl
It’s nice even it runs a little bit slower. I like the prefixed or ‘\0’
separated output for further processing of its result.
One pernickety remark (do not overrate it):
Because argument ROOTDIR is mandatory, the script should do something
when ROOTDIR is not given, e.g. print usage. Maybe ‘-r’ should be also
mandatory or the script should define some useful defaults. Consider
following invocations:
$ ./symlinks-pl
$ ./symlinks-pl /path/to/broken-symlink
$ ./symlinks-pl -r /path/to/broken-symlink
which do nothing and results with exit code 0.
