---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0005706) geoffclare (manager) - 2022-02-24 09:28 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1457#c5706 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at the GNU coreutils man page for realpath(1), it seems that its default behaviour is the same as readlink -f in that all components except the last need to exist, but it has -e and -m options which alter the existence requirements. It also has a -L option which eliminates ".." components before following symlinks. I assume these features are the reason the readlink man page says realpath is preferred over readlink -f. Even though there is no longer any obstacle to standardising readlink -f, I think we should still consider adding realpath (alongside readlink without -f). Solaris 11.4 has the GNU coreutils realpath. Do BSD systems have a realpath utility?
