NAME
       realpath	-- return resolved physical path

SYNOPSIS
       realpath	[-q] [path ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  realpath utility uses the realpath(3) function to resolve all sym-
       bolic links, extra `/' characters and references	to  /./	 and  /../  in
       path.   If  path	 is absent, the	current	working	directory (`.')	is as-
       sumed.

       If -q is	specified, warnings  will  not	be  printed  when  realpath(3)
       fails.

EXIT STATUS
       The realpath utility exits 0 on success,	and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
       Show  the physical path of the /dev/log directory silencing warnings if
       any:

	     $ realpath	-q /dev/log
	     /var/run/log

SEE ALSO
