cmd

$ ln -s SOURCE_DIR DEST_DIR

$ find

find [path] -type l

//finds all symlink at specified path

find . -type l

//finds all symlink in current dir

$ readlink

readlink [path]

//returns absolute path of symlink

//Mac OSX only; on unix use -f flag

greadlink -f path

coreutils solution

//sudo brew install coreutils

pwd -P

//returns absolute path of current dir

//find list of symlinks, cd to directory, pwd???

$ rsync

rsync –options SrcDir DstDir

EX:

rsync –r -v SrcDir DstDir

(-options)

-nEvauz

-n

//puts rsync into "dry run" mode. rsync will return a list of files that would have been copied but will not actually copy anything.

-E

// extended-attributes such as Mac-centric ACLs and resource forks will be preserved.

–v

// verbose mode tells rsync to output results and messages

//recursive

-r

-a

−a, −−archive >This is equivalent to −rlptgoD. It is a quick way of saying you want recursion and want to preserve almost everything (with −H being a notable omission). The only exception to the above equivalence is when −−files−from is specified, in which case −r is not implied.Note that −a does not preserve hardlinks, because finding multiply-linked files is expensive. You must separately specify −H.

//equivalent to −rlptgoD

//recursive +

// preserve any symbolic links, preserves file and directory permissions, preserves the timestamp, and preserve the owner and group

//archive mode tells rsync to--essentially--copy files recursively through sub-directories while maintaining permissions.

-u

update mode prevents newer files at the destination directory from being over-written.

-z

// compression mode can speed up copying by compressing/uncompressing file data before/after being copied.

(others)

−−del

//(alias for −−delete−during)

−−delete−during (receiver deletes during xfer, not before)

(other)

−−delete (deletes extraneous files from dest dirs)

−−delete−before (receiver deletes before xfer [default])

−−delete−after (receiver deletes after xfer, not before)

−−delete−excluded (also delete excluded files from dest dirs)

???

−−max−delete=NUM (don’t delete more than NUM files)

copy symlink

rsync --dry-run -r --copy-links $SOURCE $DEST

//remove --dry-run flag when ready to do for real

rsync -n -a --del -v /Users/mton/GoogleDrive_mt/RemoteWork/BlubberBuster/Enemy_AI/Assets/Shared/__MtonFrameWork /Users/mton/Dropbox/Code/SymLink/Unity/Assets/Shared

flags

--copy-links

gets all files

--copy-dirlinks

gets just directories

how-to-copy-only-symbolic-links

find /path/to/files -type l -print | \
rsync -av --files-from=- /path/to/files user@targethost:/path

The find command starts at /path/to/files and steps recursively through everything "under" that point. The options to find are conditions that limit what gets output by the -print option. In this case, only things of -type l (symbolic link, according to man find) will be printed to find's "standard output".These files become the "standard input" of the rsync command's --file-from option.Give it a shot. I haven't actually tested this, but it seems to me that it should work.
