realpath - convert a path to an absolute path without symlinks¶
Synopsis¶
realpath [OPTIONS] PATH
Description¶
realpath follows all symbolic links encountered for the provided PATH
, printing the absolute path resolved. fish provides a realpath-alike builtin intended to be enrich systems where no such command is installed by default.
If a realpath command exists, that will be preferred.
builtin realpath
will explicitly use the fish implementation of realpath.
The following options are available:
-s
or--no-symlinks
: Don’t resolve symlinks, only make paths absolute, squash multiple slashes and remove trailing slashes.
