This is my hierarchy:
JavaScript
x
aaaaaaaa
|_q
|_a.txt
|_w
|_l1
|_l2
l1
and l2
are symlinks to a.txt
.
I run this code to find all symlinks to a.txt
in the /aaaaaaaa
:
JavaScript
find ~/aaaaaaaa/ -exec ls -a {} ';' | grep '/home/khodor/aaaaaaaa/q/a.txt'
And it obviously doesn’t work, cause I must compare realpath of file with path of a.txt
. In what way I should do this?

Answer
If you have GNU/BSD find just use -samefile
primary.
JavaScript
$ find -L ~/aaaaaaaa/ -samefile ~/aaaaaaaa/q/a.txt
/home/oguz/aaaaaaaa/q/a.txt
/home/oguz/aaaaaaaa/w/l2
/home/oguz/aaaaaaaa/w/l1
