#
# That being said, there are a bunch of applications that may have some symlinks
# broken (hopefully expected?). For those cases you can add a file called
# `.find-broken-symlinks-ignore.txt` in your $HOME directory, which contains
# multiple lines of patterns to be ignored. These patterns can be Perl regexpes,
# this script will swallow everything without even checking (so don't be stupid).

# The exit code will be 1 if there are broken symlinks, and 0 if everything is
