Symbolic Link Detection

I've been searching for a way to determine from a DirEntry whether or not 
a file is a symbolic link.  I can't find a way of testing for this 
anywhere.  So far, the best I could find was that in the file type 
descriptor field, an "l" popped up when the file was a link.  However it 
is does this for hard and symbolic links.  And on that note, what are we 
supposed to do, if anything, with hard links?
