CLEANNAME(1)                                         CLEANNAME(1)

     NAME
          cleanname - clean a path name

     SYNOPSIS
          cleanname [ -d pwd ] names ...

     DESCRIPTION
          For each file name argument, cleanname, by lexical process-
          ing only, prints the shortest equivalent string that names
          the same (possibly hypothetical) file.  It eliminates multi-
          ple and trailing slashes, and it lexically interprets . and
          .. directory components in the name.  If the -d option is
          present, unrooted names are prefixed with pwd/ before pro-
          cessing.
