+.Dt REALPATH 1
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm realpath
+.Nd return resolved canonical path
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl eEq
+.Op Ar path ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility uses the
+.Xr realpath 3
+function to resolve all symbolic links, extra
+.Ql /
+characters and references to
+.Pa /./
+and
+.Pa /../
+in each
+.Ar path ,
+and writes the result of each to standard output
+followed by a newline.
+If
+.Ar path
+is absent, the current working directory
+.Pq Sq Pa .\&
+is assumed.
+.Pp
+With the
+.Fl E
+option
+(the default)
+it is not an error for the final component
+of the resolved pathname to reference a file
+which does not exist.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl e
+option reverses the effect of
+.Fl E ,
+requiring the
+.Ar path
+to resolve to an existing pathname.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fl q
+is specified, warnings will not be printed when
+.Xr realpath 3
+fails.
+Messages about other errors, such as bad usage, are still printed.
+.Pp
+On error, nothing is written
+to standard output for that
+.Ar path .
+If
+.Fl q
+was not given a diagnostic is written to standard error.
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Ex -std
+Any failure to resolve a
+.Ar path
+is an error for this purpose,
+the
+.Fl q
+option is irrelevant.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr readlink 1 ,
+.Xr realpath 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm
+utility is expected to comply with the forthcoming
+edition of the POSIX standard.
+To be fully POSIX compliant, applications must use
+either the
+.Fl e
+or
+.Fl E
+option, as which of those (if in fact either, and
+not some other behaviour) applies in their absence
+is unspecified.
+The standard requires support for only a single, mandatory,
+.Ar path
+argument.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+utility first appeared in
+.Fx 4.3
+and was imported into
+.Nx 10 ,
+but modified to be slightly more compatible with the coreutils version,
+and the proposed POSIX standard requirements.
