Is precisely that. The follows "-d causes dangling links to be removed." "-r recursively operate on subdirectories within the same filesystem." Neither of these stipulate a change of the first statement. So regardless of what type of links you tell it to remove, it's still going to classify ALL types of links it finds? cf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Origin So if you don't want to see other output, filter with grep or any other text manipulation tool, and move on with lfe. If it had a "quiet" or "silent" flag then maybe you would expect different behaviour, but it doesn't.
