What is the 'recursive links'?
(I understand that it is a symbolic link to a directory.)

Does it mean a symbolic link which points to '.' or one of the parent 
directories?

For example, making a symbolic link '/home/user/src/lib/recursive',

        Current directory: /home/user/src/lib
        parent directories: /, /home, /home/user, /home/user/src

Otherwise, the "ignoring recursive links" means simply not to trace same
directory twice?
