NAME
       cleanname - clean a path name

SYNOPSIS
       cleanname [ -d pwd ] names ...

DESCRIPTION
       For  each  file	name  argument, cleanname, by lexical processing only, prints the shortest equivalent string that names the same (possibly
       hypothetical) file.  It eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and it lexically interprets .	and ..	directory components in the  name.
       If the -d option is present, unrooted names are prefixed with pwd/ before processing.
