1251 The @code{linkat} function is analogous to the @code{link} function,
1263 symbolic link, @code{linkat} follows the symbolic link and creates a
1264 link to its target.  If the flag is not set, a link for the symbolic

1295 you have specified the name of a link, reads the file name contained in
1296 the link, and opens that file name instead.  The @code{stat} function
1297 likewise operates on the file that the symbolic link points to, instead
1298 of on the link itself.
1301 operate on the link itself.  The functions @code{readlink} and
1303 purpose is to obtain information about the link.  @code{link}, the
1304 function that makes a hard link, does too.  It makes a hard link to the
1305 symbolic link, which one rarely wants.

2026 If @var{filename} is the name of a symbolic link, the attributes you get
2027 describe the file that the link points to.  If the link points to a
2105 link, @code{lstat} returns information about the link itself; otherwise
