I'm working on a legacy system and I have a bunch of files that are referencing images that are located in other folders.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user nobody 56 Feb 10 2010 t100x100.jpg -> /home/www/virtual/categories/swm/24/m/00012/t100x100.jpg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user nobody 56 Feb 10 2010 t100x133.jpg -> /home/www/virtual/categories/swm/24/m/00012/t100x133.jpg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user nobody 56 Feb 10 2010 t125x150.jpg -> /home/www/virtual/categories/swm/24/m/00012/t125x150.jpg

How can I know if these are symbolic links or aliases?
3A symbolic link is a file entry that references another file. In Linux, an alias is a command syntax replacement. What do you mean by an alias? Or are you simply asking how to identify which files are symbolic links?
find folder -type l
will list all symbolic links below 'folder'. – StarNamer – 2012-07-29T22:49:54.677Are you asking about aliases in Mac OS X Finder, or shell command aliases? – Daniel Beck – 2012-07-29T23:55:47.103
I guess I was a bit confused. The files in question were just symbolic link and I guess I was confusing with Os X Finder aliases. – Martin – 2012-07-30T00:14:40.920
