Jul 08:07 Music -> OneDrive/Music// > ---- In this case, ls -Fl is showing you the result of the link expansion and the focus is on the 'target', i.e., the OneDrive/Music. The classifier character is being shown only for the target -- not the source of the symlink. In a different way, in the top listing the '@' in the 1st ls is telling you that Music is a symlink, in the 2nd listing, the '->' tells you that the same thing, that Music was(is) a symlink, so the '@' would be superfluous. Instead, it puts a classifier on the target so you know what type it is. One could think of it as inconsistent -- but only if remembering that inconsistent options (different options) were given as well.

If I use `ls -F ~` I get the following output: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Desktop/ Downloads/ Nextcloud/ Pictures/ Templates/ Workspace/ Documents/ Music@ OneDrive/ Public/ Videos/ As the Music directory in ~ is a symbolic link to another folder an @ is appended. But when using `ls -Fl ~` the output is ----------------------------------------------------------------------- total 40 drwxr-xr-x 2 rxo users 4096 8. Jul 07:34 Desktop/ drwxr-xr-x 2 rxo users 4096 1. Jun 11:44 Documents/ drwxr-xr-x 5 rxo users 4096 12. Jul 12:04 Downloads/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 rxo users 15 8.

Jul 16:01 Videos/ drwxr-xr-x 17 rho users 4096 10. Jul 14:58 Workspace/ As you can see the @ symbol is missing and instead there is an additional "/" appended to the corresponding entry. I think this is inconsistant and confusing. I would expect to see this line: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- lrwxrwxrwx 1 rxo users 15 8. Jul 08:07 Music@ -> OneDrive/Music/ or alternatively: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- lrwxrwxrwx 1 rxo users 15 8. Jul 08:07 Music -> OneDrive/Music/@ but I would prefer the first suggestion.
