Asynchronously computes the canonical pathname by resolving .
, ..
, and
symbolic links.
A canonical pathname is not necessarily unique. Hard links and bind mounts can expose a file system entity through many pathnames.
This function behaves like realpath(3)
, with some exceptions:
realpath(3)
implementation supports.The callback
gets two arguments (err, resolvedPath)
. May use process.cwd
to resolve relative paths.
Only paths that can be converted to UTF8 strings are supported.
The optional options
argument can be a string specifying an encoding, or an
object with an encoding
property specifying the character encoding to use for
the path passed to the callback. If the encoding
is set to 'buffer'
,
the path returned will be passed as a Buffer
object.
If path
resolves to a socket or a pipe, the function will return a system
dependent name for that object.
Asynchronous realpath(3) - return the canonicalized absolute pathname.
Asynchronously computes the canonical pathname by resolving `.`, `..`, and symbolic links. A canonical pathname is not necessarily unique. Hard links and bind mounts can expose a file system entity through many pathnames. This function behaves like [`realpath(3)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/realpath.3.html), with some exceptions: 1. No case conversion is performed on case-insensitive file systems. 2. The maximum number of symbolic links is platform-independent and generally (much) higher than what the native [`realpath(3)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/realpath.3.html) implementation supports. The `callback` gets two arguments `(err, resolvedPath)`. May use `process.cwd` to resolve relative paths. Only paths that can be converted to UTF8 strings are supported. The optional `options` argument can be a string specifying an encoding, or an object with an `encoding` property specifying the character encoding to use for the path passed to the callback. If the `encoding` is set to `'buffer'`, the path returned will be passed as a `Buffer` object. If `path` resolves to a socket or a pipe, the function will return a system dependent name for that object. Asynchronous realpath(3) - return the canonicalized absolute pathname.

On Linux, when Node.js is linked against musl libc, the procfs file system must
be mounted on /proc
in order for this function to work. Glibc does not have
this restriction.
