  • @ilkkachu OP asked "is having a symbolic link with name abc". I've offered a solution to find links named exactly abc. If he wants to find all links to the file xyz, when the -name abc part of the find command could be just omitted. Commented Jan 19, 2022 at 21:00
  • the words "to find that" would imply that the fact in question isn't supposed to be known beforehand, but is exactly what they're trying to find out. Commented Jan 19, 2022 at 21:25
  • @ilkkachu maybe you're right, sorry not a native English here. I've updated my answer to reflect both options. Commented Jan 20, 2022 at 5:32
