In filename generation, is there a way to instruct zsh not to follow symbolic links? Unfortunately, it is not possible to use glob qualifiers on pathname components (except the last one, i.e. ending the pattern), e.g. *(/)/foo, even though there would be no ambiguity in parsing (because a slash cannot appear in a pathname component). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
