REALPATH(1)             FreeBSD General Commands Manual            REALPATH(1)

NAME
     realpath -- return resolved physical path

SYNOPSIS
     realpath [-q] path [...]

DESCRIPTION
     The realpath utility uses the realpath(3) function to resolve all sym-
     bolic links, extra `/' characters and references to /./ and /../ in path.

     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.

SEE ALSO
     realpath(3)

HISTORY
     The realpath utility first appeared in FreeBSD 4.3.

FreeBSD 8.1                    November 24, 2000                   FreeBSD 8.1
