resolvepath

resolvepath(2)							   System Calls 						    resolvepath(2)

NAME

       resolvepath - resolve all symbolic links of a path name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       int resolvepath(const char *path, char *buf, size_t bufsiz);

DESCRIPTION

       The  resolvepath()  function  fully resolves all symbolic links in the path name path into a resulting path name free of symbolic links and
       places the resulting path name in the buffer buf which has size bufsiz. The resulting path name names the same file  or	directory  as  the
       original  path  name.  All ``.'' components are eliminated and every non-leading ``..'' component is eliminated together with its preceding
       directory component. If leading ``..'' components reach to the root directory, they are replaced by ``/''. If the number of  bytes  in  the
       resulting path name is less than bufsiz, the contents of the remainder of buf are unspecified.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion,  resolvepath()  returns the count of bytes placed in the buffer. Otherwise, it returns  -1, leaves the buffer
       unchanged, and sets errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The resolvepath() function will fail if:

       EACCES	       Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of path or for a path prefix component  resulting  from  the
		       resolution of a symbolic link.

       EFAULT	       The path or buf argument points to an illegal address.

       EIO	       An I/O error occurred while reading from the file system.

       ENOENT	       The  path argument is an empty string or a component of path or a path name component produced by resolving a symbolic link
		       does not name an existing file.

       ELOOP	       Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving path.

       ENAMETOOLONG    The length of path exceeds PATH_MAX, or a path name component is longer than NAME_MAX. Path name resolution of  a  symbolic
		       link produced an intermediate result whose length exceeds PATH_MAX or a component whose length exceeds NAME_MAX.

       ENOTDIR	       A  component  of  the path prefix of path or of a path prefix component resulting from the resolution of a symbolic link is
		       not a directory.

USAGE

       No more than PATH_MAX bytes will be placed in the buffer. Applications should not assume that the returned contents of the buffer are null-
       terminated.
