Realpath Tool

Resolve relative paths and symbolic links to absolute canonical paths. Use for getting the full, unambiguous file path.

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
