Is it true that there is no stat(1) flag to just print the link name?
All one can find is
%N - Quoted file name with dereference if symbolic link
$ stat -c %N s1mp3.backup
`s1mp3.backup' -> `/mnt/extra10/s1mp3'
meaning the user must be dragged over the coals to do
$ stat -c %N s1mp3.backup |perl -F

OK, I will let you off the hook if you enhance the stat(1) man page to
please say something like:
%N Quoted file name with dereference if symbolic link
For just the dereference name, see readlink(1).
