scan/change symbolic links
Symlinks is a simple tool that helps find and remedy problematic symbolic links on a system.
Symlinks scans directories for symbolic links, identifying dangling, relative, absolute, messy, and other_fs links. It can also change absolute links to relative within a given filesystem.
$ ./configure
