Is there a built-in unix/linux command which returns the target of a specific symbolic link?
for example if i made a symbolic link:
%> ln -s build_07-24-2011 latest
is there a command "foo" that does this:
%> foo latest
build_07-24-2011
i know that i can parse the ll -l latest with awk to get the same thing, just wondering if there's a more elegant way to do this.
