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
}

realpath试试。以下是全文来源，特此捐赠给公众领域。

    s_pMyName = strdup(basename(argv[0]));

    if (argc < 2)
        usage();

    printf("%s\n", realpath(argv[1], sPath));
    return 0;
}    

void usage(void)
{
    fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s PATH\n", s_pMyName);
    exit(1);
}

话多，回答有点晚。我需要写一个，因为我卡住了旧的RHEL4/5。 I处理绝对和相对链接，并简化//，/。/和somedir/../条目。

test -x /usr/bin/readlink || readlink () {
        echo $(/bin/ls -l $1 | /bin/cut -d'>' -f 2)
    }


test -x /usr/bin/realpath || realpath () {
    local PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
    local inputpath=$1
    local changemade=1
    while [ $changemade -ne 0 ]
    do
        changemade=0
        local realpath=""
        local token=
        for token in ${inputpath//\// }
        do 
            case $token in
            ""|".") # noop
                ;;
            "..") # up one directory
                changemade=1
                realpath=$(dirname $realpath)
                ;;
            *)
                if [ -h $realpath/$token ] 
                then
                    changemade=1
                    target=`readlink $realpath/$token`
                    if [ "${target:0:1}" = '/' ]
                    then
                        realpath=$target
                    else
                        realpath="$realpath/$target"
                    fi
                else
                    realpath="$realpath/$token"
                fi
                ;;
            esac
        done
        inputpath=$realpath
    done
    echo $realpath
}

mkdir -p /tmp/bar
(cd /tmp ; ln -s /tmp/bar foo; ln -s ../.././usr /tmp/bar/link2usr)
echo `realpath /tmp/foo`

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。

FILEPATH="file.txt"
echo $(realpath $(dirname $FILEPATH))/$(basename $FILEPATH)

即使文件不存在，这也可以工作。它需要包含该文件的目录存在。

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...
