TBH, I don’t expected there exists a package for this, so I’ve never |
| 13 |
searched for it and its additional features. Thanks for the input Ian. |

It’s nice even it runs a little bit slower. I like the prefixed or ‘\0’ |
| 21 |
separated output for further processing of its result. |

One pernickety remark (do not overrate it): |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Because argument ROOTDIR is mandatory, the script should do something |
| 26 |
when ROOTDIR is not given, e.g. print usage. Maybe ‘-r’ should be also |
| 27 |
mandatory or the script should define some useful defaults. Consider |
| 28 |
following invocations: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
$ ./symlinks-pl |
| 31 |
$ ./symlinks-pl /path/to/broken-symlink |
| 32 |
$ ./symlinks-pl -r /path/to/broken-symlink |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
which do nothing and results with exit code 0. |
