How to get the absolute path for a given relative path programmatically in Linux?

问题

Incase of Windows we have the _fullpath() API. In other words, I mean what is analogous API to _fullpath of Windows in Linux?

回答1:

As Paul mentioned, use realpath(). Please note though, that since many file systems in Linux support hard links, any given directory can have a number of different absolute paths.

回答2:

Check out the realpath function.

#include <stdlib.h> 
#include <stdio.h> 
#include <linux/limits.h>
int main() 
{ 
        char resolved_path[PATH_MAX]; 
        realpath("../../", resolved_path); 
        printf("\n%s\n",resolved_path); 
        return 0; 
}

回答3:

Try realpath:

$ man realpath

This is also available in BSD, OS X, et al.

回答4:

There is the realpath from stdlib.h

回答5:

Running on RedHat 5.3, realpath doesn't exist but readlink is installed. You can use it on relative paths and symlinks, plus it will resolve symlinks recursively for you. It's thus a better option that realpath in my opinion

readlink -f .

回答6:

The is also another useful way, like "readlink -m $filename"

First of all, it works without requirement for target file to exist. Secondly, it will handle symlinks and get really real path.

回答7:

// For C++ with Gnome Gtkmm3 libraries
#include <glibmm.h>
#include <giomm.h>

  string PathRel2Abs(string relpath) {
  Glib::RefPtr<Gio::File> file = Gio::File::create_for_path(relpath);
  return file->get_path();
}
