Would it make sense for your usage to resolve symbolic links at the same time? If so, you can use the canonicalize-lgpl gnulib module, which portably provides the following function. /* Return a malloc'd string containing the canonical absolute name of the named file. If any file name component does not exist or is a symlink to a nonexistent file, return NULL. A canonical name does not contain any `.', `..' components nor any repeated file name separators ('/') or symlinks. */ char *canonicalize_file_name (const char *); Paolo
