Command Line Niftyness
Every so often I find a command that has some nifty feature that I didn't know about. I want to document those commands and their features here.
Finding the full pathname of a file
The 'readlink' command is used to get the name of the file that a symbolic link points to. Normally it sends the exact contents of the symlink to stdout, but with the '-f' option it will resolve the full path to the file and send that to stdout instead. Useful if you want to determine from within a script the full pathname of a file. An additional bit of niftyness is that this works on non-symlink files too as long as you pass the -f option.
I think that only the linux version of readlink does this. There is a standard C library function called realpath() that does the same thing.
