Here is an example:

find -L /dir/to/start -xtype l -samefile ~/Pictures

or, maybe better:

find -L /dir/to/start -xtype l -samefile ~/Pictures 2>/dev/null

to get rid of some errors like Permission denied, Too many levels of symbolic links, or File system loop detected which find throws them when doesn't have the right permissions or other situations.

• -L - Follow symbolic links.




• -xtype l - File is symbolic link




• -samefile name - File refers to the same inode as name. When -L is in effect, this can include symbolic links.

Notes:

• Use lowercase L in -xtype l, not the digit 1.


• On macOS / Darwin, -xtype is -type.
