.TH CLEANNAME 1
.SH NAME
cleanname \- clean a path name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cleanname
[
.B -d
.I pwd
]
.I names ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
For each file name argument,
.IR cleanname ,
by lexical processing only,
prints the shortest equivalent string that names the same
(possibly hypothetical) file.
It eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and it lexically
interprets
.B .
and
.B ..
directory components in the name.
If the
.B -d
option is present,
unrooted names are prefixed with
.IB pwd /
before processing.
