SYNOPSIS
realpath |
[-q] [path ...] |
DESCRIPTION
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.
EXIT STATUS
The realpath utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Show the physical path of the /dev/log directory silencing warnings if any:
$ realpath -q /dev/log /var/run/log
