@ character in directory or command listing
Hi,
I'm wondering what is the meaning of the @ character when you're listing directories or as the result of a command like netstat. For example: "@/var/run/hald/" Is that a kind of symbolic link reference or socket? Or is it a kind of temporary process which will disappear? I couldn't find it on the net, the ascii charset says it means a nul character but I don't think it is related. I was wondering where I should look for it. 10x! |
Hi,
if you are using 'ls -F' then a "@" at the *end* of the filename indicates that it is a symlink. I'm not familiar with seeing a "@" *before* the filename. You can get more information about the files you are looking at using 'ls -l'. HTH, Evo2. |
Those are actually socket files:
Code:
~$ ls -l @/var/run/hald/ |
thanks a lot!
