It allows one to trivially convert an absolute path to a relative path and the reverse. The test programs themselves are very useful in scripts but the real use comes shortly with the -r and -a arguments to ln. These are sometimes known as the --relative and --absolute flags and can force a symlink to be relative when you only have an absolue path. Another place these are sometimes used is to add -a and -r args to 'realpath'. Incredibly useful in Makefiles. I was going to just add the files in with 'ln' but a library makes more sense. The test programs may come out in their own right some day for scripting. released under a BSD 2-clause: * Copyright (c) 1997 Shigio Yamaguchi.
