For what it's worth- since we have a perl dependency, perl has a "realpath" function that follows symlinks & canonicalizes the path. It's in the Cwd module which is in perl's standard distribution. perl -e "use Cwd 'realpath';print realpath '/foo/bar/'" will do it. see http://perldoc.perl.org/Cwd.html _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
