You can also tell if it's a hard link based on the link count in the ls
- -l output.

For example, /usr/bin/{nis,yp}domainname are hard linked.

% ls -la /bin/{yp,nis}domainname
- -r-xr-xr-x 2 root root 10800 2010-02-12 19:35 /bin/nisdomainname
- -r-xr-xr-x 2 root root 10800 2010-02-12 19:35 /bin/ypdomainname

The second column, after the permissions, shows the link count. A file
without multiple links has a '1' instead. You can verify that two files
are hard linked by adding the -i flag and examining the new first
column, which is the inode number.
