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.
