How can I use find to search for symbolic links?

This is what I have:

abc:~/findtests$ ls -l  
total 0  
lrwxrwxrwx 1 abc abc 2开发者_运维百科2 2010-11-30 14:32 link1 -> /home/abc/testpy1.py  

I am trying to search for the link link1 in the current directory.

I did :

abc:~/findtests$ find -L . -lname 'link1'
abc:~/findtests$ find -P . -lname 'link1'
abc:~/findtests$ find -L . -lname 'test*'
abc:~/findtests$ find -P . -lname 'test*'

But could not get any output. What am I doing wrong ?

To start with, from the man page:

"Using -L causes the -lname and -ilname predicates always to return false."

The target of the symbolic link doesn't match 'test*' because there is the full path. Try '*/test*'.

How about find . -type l -name link1?

Also, find . -lname '*test*' seems to work for me.

"Using -L causes the -lname and -ilname predicates always to return false." says the find man page

so those two wouldn't work anyway

but is the problem to be solved to find a symlink via its target path or by its name as aix's answer does
