Realpath - Absolute Path Resolver#

Convert relative paths and symlinks to absolute canonical paths. Useful for scripts that need the full path of files, directories, or symlinked resources.

Usage#

bash

realpath-tool [options] <path...>

Options#

• -s: Don't expand symlinks (show logical path)
• -m: Path doesn't need to exist
• --relative-to=DIR: Show path relative to DIR

Examples#

bash

realpath-tool ./relative/path
realpath-tool -s symlink_path
realpath-tool --relative-to=/home file.txt
