@deftypefn Replacement {const char*} lrealpath (const char *@var{name})

Given a pointer to a string containing a pathname, returns a canonical
version of the filename.  Symlinks will be resolved, and ``.'' and ``..''
components will be simplified.  The returned value will be allocated using
@code{malloc}, or @code{NULL} will be returned on a memory allocation error.
