In bash on some systems it is a shell function:
I cannot vouch for this code because I use the standard C library realpath in a compiled module. The example above is a copy that I found a while back when researching a similar problem to what you have when trying to migrate scripts across Linux distros.
If someone knows more I'd like to see it.

Hello Everyone,
I want to convert
Relative Path - /home/stevin/data/APP_SERVICE/../datafile.txt
to
Absolute Path - /home/stevin/data/datafile.txt
Is there a built-in tool in Unix to do this or any good ideas as to how can I implement this.

XmDirectionToStringDirection(library call) XmDirectionToStringDirection(library call)
NAME
XmDirectionToStringDirection -- A function that converts an XmDirection value to an XmStringDirection value
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmStringDirection XmDirectionToStringDirection (dir)
XmDirection dir;
(void)
DESCRIPTION
XmDirectionToStringDirection converts the specified XmDirection direction value to its equivalent XmStringDirection value. Basically, if
the XmDirection value has a horizontal direction specification, that horizontal element is used; otherwise, the XmStringDirection value is
interpreted as XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R. This function provides backward compatibility with the XmStringDirection data type.
Note that the Motif toolkit also contains an XmStringDirectionToDirection routine to convert an XmStringDirection value to its XmDirection
equivalent.
dir Specifies the XmDirection value to be converted.
RETURN
Returns the following XmStringDirection values:
XmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L
If the dir argument has a right to left horizontal direction value in it, for example XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM.
XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R
If the dir argument has a left to right horizontal direction in it, for example XmLEFT_TO_RIGHT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM, or if the horizon-
tal direction value in the dir argument is ambiguous, such as in the XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM value.
XmSTRING_DIRECTION_DEFAULT
If there was no horizontal direction specified.
