realpath - convert a path to an absolute path without symlinks

Synopsis

realpath [OPTIONS] PATH

Description

realpath follows all symbolic links encountered for the provided PATH, printing the absolute path resolved. fish provides a realpath-alike builtin intended to enrich systems where no such command is installed by default.

If a realpath command exists, that will be preferred. builtin realpath will explicitly use the fish implementation of realpath.

The following options are available:

-s or --no-symlinks

Don't resolve symlinks, only make paths absolute, squash multiple slashes and remove trailing slashes.

-h or --help

Displays help about using this command.
