由于所介绍的解决方案都不适合我，所以在文件不存在的情况下，我实现了我的想法。 André Anjos的解决方案有一个问题，路径以../../都解决错了。例如../../a/b/变成了a/b/。

function normalize_rel_path(){
  local path=$1
  result=""
  IFS='/' read -r -a array <<< "$path"
  i=0
  for (( idx=${#array[@]}-1 ; idx>=0 ; idx-- )) ; do
    c="${array[idx]}"
    if [ -z "$c" ] || [[ "$c" == "." ]];
    then
      continue
    fi
    if [[ "$c" == ".." ]]
    then
      i=$((i+1))
    elif [ "$i" -gt "0" ];
    then
      i=$((i-1))
    else
      if [ -z "$result" ];
      then
        result=$c
      else
        result=$c/$result
      fi
    fi
  done
  while [ "$i" -gt "0" ]; do
    i=$((i-1))
    result="../"$result
  done  
  unset IFS
  echo $result
}

正如Adam Liss所指出的，realpath并非与每个发行版都捆绑在一起。这很遗憾，因为这是最好的解决方案。提供的源代码很棒，我可能现在就开始使用它。以下是我到目前为止一直在使用的，只是为了完整起见，我在这里分享:

get_abs_path() {
     local PARENT_DIR=$(dirname "$1")
     cd "$PARENT_DIR"
     local ABS_PATH="$(pwd)"/"$(basename "$1")"
     cd - >/dev/null
     echo "$ABS_PATH"
} 

如果您希望它解析符号链接，只需将pwd替换为pwd -P。

如果你只想规范化一个路径，不管是否存在，不涉及文件系统，不解析任何链接，也不使用外部utils，这里有一个从Python的posixpath.normpath转换而来的纯Bash函数。

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Normalize path, eliminating double slashes, etc.
# Usage: new_path="$(normpath "${old_path}")"
# Translated from Python's posixpath.normpath:
# https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/posixpath.py#L337
normpath() {
  local IFS=/ initial_slashes='' comp comps=()
  if [[ $1 == /* ]]; then
    initial_slashes='/'
    [[ $1 == //* && $1 != ///* ]] && initial_slashes='//'
  fi
  for comp in $1; do
    [[ -z ${comp} || ${comp} == '.' ]] && continue
    if [[ ${comp} != '..' || (-z ${initial_slashes} && ${#comps[@]} -eq 0) || (\
      ${#comps[@]} -gt 0 && ${comps[-1]} == '..') ]]; then
      comps+=("${comp}")
    elif ((${#comps[@]})); then
      unset 'comps[-1]'
    fi
  done
  comp="${initial_slashes}${comps[*]}"
  printf '%s\n' "${comp:-.}"
}

例子:

new_path="$(normpath '/foo/bar/..')"
echo "${new_path}"
# /foo

normpath "relative/path/with trailing slashs////"
# relative/path/with trailing slashs

normpath "////a/../lot/././/mess////./here/./../"
# /lot/mess

normpath ""
# .
# (empty path resolved to dot)

Personally, I cannot understand why Shell, a language often used for manipulating files, doesn't offer basic functions to deal with paths. In python, we have nice libraries like os.path or pathlib, which offers a whole bunch of tools to extract filename, extension, basename, path segments, split or join paths, to get absolute or normalized paths, to determine relations between paths, to do everything without much brain. And they take care of edge cases, and they're reliable. In Shell, to do any of these, either we call external executables, or we have to reinvent wheels with these extremely rudimentary and arcane syntaxes...

realpath试试。以下是全文来源，特此捐赠给公众领域。

试试我们新的Bash库产品realpath-lib吧，我们已经把它放在GitHub上了，可以免费、不受阻碍地使用。它有完整的文档，是一个很好的学习工具。

它可以解析本地、相对和绝对路径，除了Bash 4+，它没有任何依赖关系;所以它应该适用于任何地方。它是免费的，干净的，简单的和有教育意义的。

你可以:

get_realpath <absolute|relative|symlink|local file path>

这个函数是库的核心:

function get_realpath() {

if [[ -f "$1" ]]
then 
    # file *must* exist
    if cd "$(echo "${1%/*}")" &>/dev/null
    then 
        # file *may* not be local
        # exception is ./file.ext
        # try 'cd .; cd -;' *works!*
        local tmppwd="$PWD"
        cd - &>/dev/null
    else 
        # file *must* be local
        local tmppwd="$PWD"
    fi
else 
    # file *cannot* exist
    return 1 # failure
fi

# reassemble realpath
echo "$tmppwd"/"${1##*/}"
return 0 # success

}

它还包含get_dirname, get_filename, get_ stemname和validate_path函数。在不同平台上尝试它，并帮助改进它。

一种可移植且可靠的解决方案是使用python，几乎所有地方都预装了python(包括Darwin)。你有两个选择:

Abspath返回一个绝对路径，但不解析符号链接: import os,sys;打印(os.path.abspath (sys.argv[1]))“路径/ /文件 Realpath返回一个绝对路径并解析符号链接，生成一个规范路径: import os,sys;打印(os.path.realpath (sys.argv[1]))“路径/ /文件

在每种情况下，路径/to/file可以是相对路径，也可以是绝对路径。
