+# Usage:
+#
+#      e.g.:   a -> b -> c -> d  ....
+#
+#      sll a
+#
+#
+#      if parameter is given with leading '=', lookup $PATH for parameter and resolve that
+#
+#      sll =java
+#
+#      Note: limit for recursive symlinks on linux:
+#            http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/namei.c?id=refs/heads/master#l808
+#            This limits recursive symlink follows to 8,
+#            while limiting consecutive symlinks to 40.
+#
+#      When resolving and displaying information about symlinks, no check is made
+#      that the displayed information does make any sense on your OS.
+#      We leave that decission to the user.
+#
+#      The zstat module is used to detect symlink loops. zstat is available since zsh4.
+#      With an older zsh you will need to abort with <C-c> in that case.
+#      When a symlink loop is detected, a warning ist printed and further processing is stopped.
+#
+#      Module zstat is loaded by default in grml zshrc, no extra action needed for that.
+#
+#      Known bugs:
+#      If you happen to come accross a symlink that points to a destination on an other partition
+#      with the same inode number, that will be marked as symlink loop though it is not.
+#      Two hints for this situation:
+#      I)  Play lottery the same day, as you seem to be rather lucky right now.
+#      II) Send patches.
+#
+#      return status:
+#      0 upon success
+#      1 file/dir not accesible
+#      2 symlink loop detected
+#
