# Find the Final Entry

The lookup of the final component of the pathname goes just like that of all other components, with two differences: It is also possible that the final component is required to be something other than a regular file: `readlink(pathname = "just-a-file", data = 0x7F930A50, data_size = 4097) failed, Invalid argument (22, EINVAL) because pathname is a regular file, not a symbolic link`
