给定一个绝对路径或相对路径(在类unix系统中)，我希望在解析任何中间符号链接之后确定目标的完整路径。同时还可以解析~用户名符号。
如果目标是一个目录，则可以将chdir()放入该目录，然后调用getcwd()，但我确实希望从shell脚本而不是编写C helper来完成此操作。不幸的是，shell倾向于试图向用户隐藏符号链接的存在(这是OS X上的bash):
$ ls -ld foo bar
drwxr-xr-x 2 greg greg 68 Aug 11 22:36 bar
lrwxr-xr-x 1 greg greg 3 Aug 11 22:36 foo -> bar
$ cd foo
$ pwd
/Users/greg/tmp/foo
$
我想要的是一个函数resolve()，这样当从上面的例子中的tmp目录执行时，resolve("foo") == "/Users/greg/tmp/bar"。
当前回答
我的2分钱。这个函数是POSIX兼容的，源和目标都可以包含->。但是，我还没有让它与容器换行符或制表符的文件名一起工作，因为ls通常有这些问题。
resolve_symlink() {
test -L "$1" && ls -l "$1" | awk -v SYMLINK="$1" '{ SL=(SYMLINK)" -> "; i=index($0, SL); s=substr($0, i+length(SL)); print s }'
}
我认为这里的解决方案是file命令，使用一个自定义魔术文件，只输出所提供的符号链接的目标。
其他回答
在这里，我提出了一个我认为是跨平台(至少Linux和macOS)的解决方案，目前对我来说效果很好。
crosspath()
{
local ref="$1"
if [ -x "$(which realpath)" ]; then
path="$(realpath "$ref")"
else
path="$(readlink -f "$ref" 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
if [ -x "$(which readlink)" ]; then
if [ ! -z "$(readlink "$ref")" ]; then
ref="$(readlink "$ref")"
fi
else
echo "realpath and readlink not available. The following may not be the final path." 1>&2
fi
if [ -d "$ref" ]; then
path="$(cd "$ref"; pwd -P)"
else
path="$(cd $(dirname "$ref"); pwd -P)/$(basename "$ref")"
fi
fi
fi
echo "$path"
}
这里有一个macOS(仅?)解决方案。也许更适合最初的问题。
mac_realpath()
{
local ref="$1"
if [[ ! -z "$(readlink "$ref")" ]]; then
ref="$(readlink "$1")"
fi
if [[ -d "$ref" ]]; then
echo "$(cd "$ref"; pwd -P)"
else
echo "$(cd $(dirname "$ref"); pwd -P)/$(basename "$ref")"
fi
}
因为我在过去的几年里遇到过很多次这样的情况，这一次我需要一个纯粹的bash可移植版本，可以在OSX和linux上使用，我继续写了一个:
活生生的版本就在这里:
https://github.com/keen99/shell-functions/tree/master/resolve_path
但为了SO，这里是当前的版本(我觉得它经过了很好的测试..但我愿意接受反馈!)
可能不难使它为普通bourne shell (sh)工作，但我没有尝试…我太喜欢$FUNCNAME了。：）
#!/bin/bash
resolve_path() {
#I'm bash only, please!
# usage: resolve_path <a file or directory>
# follows symlinks and relative paths, returns a full real path
#
local owd="$PWD"
#echo "$FUNCNAME for $1" >&2
local opath="$1"
local npath=""
local obase=$(basename "$opath")
local odir=$(dirname "$opath")
if [[ -L "$opath" ]]
then
#it's a link.
#file or directory, we want to cd into it's dir
cd $odir
#then extract where the link points.
npath=$(readlink "$obase")
#have to -L BEFORE we -f, because -f includes -L :(
if [[ -L $npath ]]
then
#the link points to another symlink, so go follow that.
resolve_path "$npath"
#and finish out early, we're done.
return $?
#done
elif [[ -f $npath ]]
#the link points to a file.
then
#get the dir for the new file
nbase=$(basename $npath)
npath=$(dirname $npath)
cd "$npath"
ndir=$(pwd -P)
retval=0
#done
elif [[ -d $npath ]]
then
#the link points to a directory.
cd "$npath"
ndir=$(pwd -P)
retval=0
#done
else
echo "$FUNCNAME: ERROR: unknown condition inside link!!" >&2
echo "opath [[ $opath ]]" >&2
echo "npath [[ $npath ]]" >&2
return 1
fi
else
if ! [[ -e "$opath" ]]
then
echo "$FUNCNAME: $opath: No such file or directory" >&2
return 1
#and break early
elif [[ -d "$opath" ]]
then
cd "$opath"
ndir=$(pwd -P)
retval=0
#done
elif [[ -f "$opath" ]]
then
cd $odir
ndir=$(pwd -P)
nbase=$(basename "$opath")
retval=0
#done
else
echo "$FUNCNAME: ERROR: unknown condition outside link!!" >&2
echo "opath [[ $opath ]]" >&2
return 1
fi
fi
#now assemble our output
echo -n "$ndir"
if [[ "x${nbase:=}" != "x" ]]
then
echo "/$nbase"
else
echo
fi
#now return to where we were
cd "$owd"
return $retval
}
这里有一个经典的例子，感谢brew:
%% ls -l `which mvn`
lrwxr-xr-x 1 draistrick 502 29 Dec 17 10:50 /usr/local/bin/mvn@ -> ../Cellar/maven/3.2.3/bin/mvn
使用这个函数，它将返回-real- path:
%% cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
. resolve_path.inc
echo
echo "relative symlinked path:"
which mvn
echo
echo "and the real path:"
resolve_path `which mvn`
%% test.sh
relative symlinked path:
/usr/local/bin/mvn
and the real path:
/usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.2.3/libexec/bin/mvn
根据标准，pwd -P应该返回已解析符号链接的路径。
C函数char *getcwd(char *buf, size_t size)从unistd.h应该有相同的行为。
getcwd 松材线虫病
这是在Bash 3.2.57中测试过的最佳解决方案:
# Read a path (similar to `readlink`) recursively, until the physical path without any links (like `cd -P`) is found.
# Accepts any existing path, prints its physical path and exits `0`, exits `1` if some contained links don't exist.
# Motivation: `${BASH_SOURCE[0]}` often contains links; using it directly to extract your project's path may fail.
#
# Example: Safely `source` a file located relative to the current script
#
# source "$(dirname "$(rreadlink "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")")/relative/script.sh"
#Inspiration: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51089005/6307827
rreadlink () {
declare p="$1" d l
while :; do
d="$(cd -P "$(dirname "$p")" && pwd)" || return $? #absolute path without symlinks
p="$d/$(basename "$p")"
if [ -h "$p" ]; then
l="$(readlink "$p")" || break
#A link must be resolved from its fully resolved parent dir.
d="$(cd "$d" && cd -P "$(dirname "$l")" && pwd)" || return $?
p="$d/$(basename "$l")"
else
break
fi
done
printf '%s\n' "$p"
}
readlink -e [filepath]
看来这正是你想要的 -它接受任意路径，解析所有符号链接，并返回“真实”路径 -可能所有系统都已经有了“标准*nix”
