The readlink utility when invoked with the pathname of a |

|
15 |
symbolic link as its argument dereferences the symbolic link |
| |
|

| |
|
17 |
link is invoked with an argument other than the pathname of |
| |
|
18 |
a symbolic link, it exits with a non-zero exit code without |
| |
|
19 |
printing anything. |
