lrealpath(1) General Commands Manual lrealpath(1)
NAME
lrealpath - print the fully-resolved absolute path of the specified
files
SYNOPSIS
lrealpath [-f file_list] [-h(elp)] [-p(ipe)] [-v(erbose)] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
lrealpath prints out the true path of the specified files instead of
symlink locations.
OPTIONS
-h Print help and quit.
-f file_list
Read the names of files to be processed from the specified file.
-p Read the names of files to be processed from stdin.
-v Verbose output. Print the original filename along with the true
filename.
NOTES
The -f and -p options can be used simultaneously with filenames
specified on the command-line.
Note that this program operates very similarly to realpath -e. [The
realpath program was added to GNU coreutils 8.15 in 2012.] If are you
trying to write highly portable shell scripts, you might consider using
realpath instead.
