How to identify glycosidic bonds?

I heard there are O/N/S/C glycosidic bond types so what do those look like?

I just took a quick look at your molecule, and I saw O and N glycosidic bonds, but I did not see and S-glycosidic bonds.  Glycosides are usually thought of as acetals or ketals in which the aldehyde or ketone is part of a carbohydrate.  If an amine replaces an alcohol in forming the acetal, then that is a N-glycosidic bond.
