That's not what realpath does. The docs say:
`$(realpath NAMES...)'
For each file name in NAMES return the canonical absolute name.

If that's not what you're seeing please provide an example of what
you're doing, what result you got, and what result you expected to get
(and don't forget to specify what system you've built for: this function
wants to use the underlying realpath(3) function but not all operating
systems support it).
