Back out a dubious Lite2 change to "optimise" getcwd() to look at $PWD because it's potentially dangerous (think: symlink races). Move realpath() back to it's original location, and remove getcwd_physical() by renaming it back to getcwd() and zapping the original getcwd wrapper. Noticed by: bde The following commits already happened but the log message got lost: Modified Files: gen/Makefile.inc gen/getcwd.c stdlib/Makefile.inc Removed Files: gen/realpath.3

.Dt REALPATH 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm realpath
|
|
.Nd returns the canonicalized absolute pathname
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
|
|
.Ft "char *"
|
|
.Fn realpath "const char *pathname" "char resolvedname[MAXPATHLEN]"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
function resolves all symbolic links, extra
|
|
.Dq /
|
|
characters and references to
|
|
.Pa /./
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /../
|
|
in
|
|
.Fa pathname ,
|
|
and copies the resulting absolute pathname into
|
|
the memory referenced by
|
|
.Fa resolvedname .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa resolvedname
|
|
argument
|
|
.Em must
|
|
refer to a buffer capable of storing at least
|
|
.Dv MAXPATHLEN
|
|
characters.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
function will resolve both absolute and relative paths
|
|
and return the absolute pathname corresponding to
|
|
.Fa pathname .
|
|
All but the last component of
|
|
.Fa pathname
|
|
must exist when
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
is called.
|
|
.Sh "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
function returns
|
|
.Fa resolved_name
|
|
on success.
|
|
If an error occurs,
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa resolved_name
|
|
contains the pathname which caused the problem.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
may fail and set the external variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
for any of the errors specified for the library functions
|
|
.Xr chdir 2 ,
|
|
.Xr close 2 ,
|
|
.Xr fchdir 2 ,
|
|
.Xr lstat 2 ,
|
|
.Xr open 2 ,
|
|
.Xr readlink 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr getcwd 3 .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
This implementation of
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
differs slightly from the Solaris implementation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
version always returns absolute pathnames,
|
|
whereas the Solaris implementation will,
|
|
under certain circumstances, return a relative
|
|
.Fa resolved_path
|
|
when given a relative
|
|
.Fa pathname .
|
|
.Sh "SEE ALSO"
|
|
.Xr getcwd 3
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn realpath
|
|
function call first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
