cleanname(1)
clean a path name
SYNOPSIS
cleanname
[
-d
pwd
]
names ...
DESCRIPTION
For each file name argument,
cleanname,
by lexical processing only,
prints the shortest equivalent string that names the same
(possibly hypothetical) file.
It eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and it lexically
interprets
.
and
..
directory components in the name.
If the
-d
option is present,
unrooted names are prefixed with
pwd/
before processing.
