    With no options, show what symlink points to, return error if not symlink.

    Options for producing canonical paths (all symlinks/./.. resolved):

    -e	Canonical path to existing entry (fail if missing)
    -f	Full path (fail if directory missing)
    -m	Ignore missing entries, show where it would be
    -n	No trailing newline
    -q	Quiet (no output, just error code)

config REALPATH
  bool "realpath"
  default y
  help
    usage: realpath FILE...

    Display the canonical absolute pathname
