My interpretation of:
"Each link is output with a classification of relative, absolute, dangling, messy, lengthy, or other_fs."
Is precisely that. The follows
"-d causes dangling links to be removed."
"-r recursively operate on subdirectories within the same filesystem."
Neither of these stipulate a change of the first statement. So regardless of what type of links you tell it to remove, it's still going to classify ALL types of links it finds?
So if you don't want to see other output, filter with grep or any other text manipulation tool, and move on with lfe. If it had a "quiet" or "silent" flag then maybe you would expect different behaviour, but it doesn't.
