> realpath [-s|--strip] [-z|--zero] filename ... I'm not sure why you and Jim want to merge a different function under the name realpath. To me, I think this less intuitive. The English word 'real path' is different from the word 'relative path'. If 'relpath' is used, probably don't need to read the man page to figure out how to use it. With your proposal, the user will for sure need to read the manual to figure out how to get relative path. So why merge them?
The corresponding functions from the following languages are perl: abs2rel python: os.path.relpath ruby: relative_path_from None of them use the work 'real'? Therefore, I'm not sure it is a good idea to use 'real' instead of 'rel'. -- Regards, Peng
