realpath
realpath(path::AbstractString) -> AbstractString
Canonicalize a path by expanding symbolic links and removing "." and ".." entries.
Examples
julia> realpath("mydir/../myfile.txt")
"/home/user/myfile.txt"This example demonstrates how the realpath function can be used to obtain the canonicalized path by expanding symbolic links and resolving . and .. entries. In this case, the original path "mydir/../myfile.txt" is resolved to "/home/user/myfile.txt".
Common mistake example:
julia> realpath("nonexistent-file.txt")
ERROR: SystemError: realpath: no such file or directory (ENOENT)In this example, the realpath function throws an error because the provided path refers to a non-existent file. Make sure to provide a valid path that exists in the file system when using realpath.
