realpath1
Return resolved physical path
Usage
realpath [-q]
[path ...]
Overview
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
