cat /usr/bin/7z
Now you 'll see what it does. Now have a look at /usr/lib/p7zip/7z in the same way.

~ $ file /usr/bin/7z
-sh: file: not found
~ $ cat /usr/bin/7z
#! /bin/sh
exec /usr/lib/p7zip/7z "$@"
~ $ /usr/lib/p7zip/7z
-sh: /usr/lib/p7zip/7z: Too many levels of symbolic links
~ $

that's what I got after them, I'm sorry, but I am a complete novice.
