ABOUT
	Print absolute paths of files.  All paths that exist are printed.
	(ie, noting softlinks and mount points can be need revealing).

	realpaths(1) is a realpath(3) clone and was made due to
	some realpath bugs.

	unlike realpath(3), realpaths(1) does not bake or guess part of
	the path: it only uses info from Linux and or libc from the
	filesystem of real files.  It runs about same speed though.

	It's important when dealing with symlinks and mounts to use
	real information.

	realpath(3) has a coulple other glitches i noted however some
	might be found in realpaths(1) - - but the major issue is
	whether guessing is allowed.

	it is NOT tested by a world of people so note it's "a beta"

To build this C program do:

	$ tar -xzf realpaths-1.0.1.tar.gz
