Sometime we create soft link (say link_a) for a file (say a), and if we
delete file a, then the link_a will be invalid. Is there any way to
find out which file is linked to file a? (In this case, the expected
answer is link_a). You know maybe some others create a linked file
referring to a and did not tell us the fact. So we must find the truth
from the OS or shell.
There is no way other than to search every file in the system to see
if any of them are a soft link to a.
