realpath - convert a path to an absolute path without symlinks

Synopsis

.. synopsis::

realpath [OPTIONS] PATH

Description

.. only:: builder_man

      NOTE: This page documents the fish builtin ``realpath``.
      To see the documentation on any non-fish versions, use ``command man realpath``.

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

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