[gimli:~] 10:35:09am 234 % man -k absolute URI (3pm) - Uniform Resource Identifiers (absolute and relative) abs (3) - compute the absolute value of an integer. fabs (3) - absolute value of floating-point number fabsf (3) - absolute value of floating-point number fabsl (3) - absolute value of floating-point number imaxabs (3) - compute the absolute value of an integer. labs (3) - compute the absolute value of an integer. llabs (3) - compute the absolute value of an integer. realpath (3) - return the canonicalized absolute pathname Does that suffice as a hint?
