Getting list of hard-linked files

How can I obtain a list of hard-links within a certain folder, or within a folder's hierarchy?

The command find let you to search files based on the number of hard links. Hence a starting point could be something like
Code:
find . -type f -links +1 -printf "hard-links: %n\t   inode: %i\t%p\n"
Here the -links +1 option looks for items with more than one hard link.
