Package: realpath
Version: 1.14
Severity: normal
My system has a symlink for a BT878 TV PCI card. 'ls -l'
and 'readlink -f' show that symlink, but plain 'realpath' fails
and 'realpath -s' returns the symlink target name:
% ls -l /dev/vbidefault
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root video 8 May 15 20:02 /dev/vbidefault -> /dev/vb1
% readlink -f /dev/vbidefault
/dev/vb1
% realpath /dev/vbidefault ; echo $?
/dev/vbidefault: No such file or directory
1
% realpath -s /dev/vbidefault ; echo $?
/dev/vbidefault
0
Changing the current directory to '/dev/' didn't affect
the output:
% cd /dev
% realpath -s /dev/vbidefault ; echo $?
/dev/vbidefault
0
% realpath /dev/vbidefault ; echo $?
/dev/vbidefault: No such file or directory
1
Hope this helps...
