I am finding some symbolic links with WRKLNK.
I know how to create one with ADDLNK. For example
ADDLNK OBJ('/qsys.lib/mylib.lib/my.usrspc') NEWLNK('/tmp/myusrspc.usrspc')
LNKTYPE(*SYMBOLIC)
However, if I do
WRKLNK '/tmp/*'
and see myusrspc.usrspc I can't seem to find what option I can take to
find out that this points to /qsys.lib/mylib.lib/my.usrspc
