Aardvark Shell Utils v1.0 Dec. 23, 2003 The Aardvark Shell Utils is a collection of 3 (currently) utilities designed to aid the user when working with shell scripts, or from the shell command line. All three accept their input on the command line, or from standard input, and thus they can be piped (|) with other commands. All commands come with their own man page. All code herein is provided free under the GPL. See "Copying" for more information. REALPATH(1) Realpath is an implementation of the realpath(3) function for returning the canonicalized absolute pathname of an input path. Essentially this means it returns the path with all '.' and '..' charcters removed and all symlinks resolved. Please see the included manpage in the man/ dir for more info. You will need a system with a realpath(3) function. (This is pretty standard ANSI C stuff.) It is possible that your realpath(3) call will not return an absolute path in some circumstances (reports of Solaris behaving like this have surfaced). If you find this and would like to help make realpath work the same on your platform please email me <software@laffeycomputer.com>. Most likely you will instead have a resolvepath(2) call that does the same thing (or similar). FILEBASE(1) Filebase returns the base portion of a filename, that is the filename with its extension (e.g. .txt) removed. It works by returning everything preceeding the last period in the input string. The period itself is not returned. FILEEXT(1) Fileext returns the extension portion of a filename (e.g. txt). It works by returning everything following the last period in the input string. The period itself is not returned. Note: All command names are lowercase. Capitals are used above only for emphasis or English clarity. Please report bugs to <software@laffeycomputer.com>
