REALPATH(1) | General Commands Manual | REALPATH(1) |
realpath
— return
resolved physical path
realpath |
[-q ] [path ...] |
The realpath
utility uses the
realpath(3) function to resolve all
symbolic links, extra ‘/
’ characters
and references to /./ and
/../ in path. If
path is absent, the current working directory
(‘.’) is assumed.
If -q
is specified, warnings will not be
printed when realpath(3) fails.
The realpath
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
Show the physical path of the /dev/log directory silencing warnings if any:
$ realpath -q /dev/log /var/run/log
The realpath
utility first appeared in
FreeBSD 4.3.
