Definition
Specifies a regular expression that parses the external file link name in the output of a LIST command. Only the link name is required for the file list to be returned.
Required Values
A regular expression. If there is no reliable way of identifying a file link within a LIST output, then leave this parameter undefined.
Additional Information
The regular expression “[ ] ->[ ]” defines that a file link symbol is represented by an arrow surrounded by spaces (“ -> “). When parsed, only the file name to the right of the symbol is used.
In the following example, only the public_html would be used, not the “p” character:
lrwxrwxrwx 2 ed usr 4 Apr 17 17:43 p -> public_html |
