In Midnight Commander, nlink is supposed to be the number of symlinks to a file. So far so good.
hardlinks? You can't count amount of symlinks to a file without probing every file on your filesystem to be a symlink on requested file. Hardlinks to a new dir come from 2 nodes: - '$your_dir/..' - '$your_dir/.' 'stat -c%h /path/to/dir' should show the same value.
But I have created a new subdir '123456789' in my home directory for which I have to assume no symlinks exist. Well, MC says nlink is 2 in this case. Where are those two symlinks?
Should be not different from 'stat' call. -- Sergei
