How do I find hard links in Linux?
If you find two files with identical properties but are unsure if they are hard-linked, use the ls -i command to view the inode number. Files that are hard-linked together share the same inode number. The shared inode number is 2730074, meaning these files are identical data.
How do I know if I have hard link or soft link?
You can check if a file is a symlink with [ -L file ] . Similarly, you can test if a file is a regular file with [ -f file ] , but in that case, the check is done after resolving symlinks. hardlinks are not a type of file, they are just different names for a file (of any type).
