$ man ls
-L, --dereference
when showing file information for a symbolic link, show informa-
tion for the file the link references rather than for the link
itself
Ah ah ah... so one can only see the first (no -L) or last (-L) of a
e.g., long chain of symbolic links. Perhaps add a --symbolic-link-depth
option to be able to see where an arbitrary depth of symbolic links
points to. Or add a -L1, -L6, -L14 ... option.
