REALPATH(1)

NAME
realpath - convert a path to an absolute path without symlinks

SYNOPSIS
realpath [OPTIONS] PATH

DESCRIPTION

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

realpath follows all symbolic links encountered for the provided PATH <#envvar-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.
