How to find hard linked folders via programming

Question

Is it possible to identify if a folder is actually a hard link created by mklink?

I want to get folders and subsequent sub-folders. But hard linked folders drops me into a loop.

You can't create hardlinks for folders. There's no such thing. You can create junction points and symbolic links for folders.

These can be identified with the following command

junction -s pathname

You can find hard links for folders with the following command

fsutil hardlink list filename
