43 * -f, --canonicalize
44 * canonicalize by following every symlink in
45 * every component of the given name recursively;
46 * all but the last component must exist
47 * -e, --canonicalize-existing
48 * canonicalize by following every symlink in
49 * every component of the given name recursively,
50 * all components must exist
51 * -m, --canonicalize-missing
52 * canonicalize by following every symlink in
53 * every component of the given name recursively,
54 * without requirements on components existence
55 * -n, --no-newline do not output the trailing newline
56 * -q, --quiet, -s, --silent suppress most error messages
57 * -v, --verbose report error messages
58 *
59 * bbox supports: -f (partially) -n -v (fully), -q -s (accepts but ignores)
60 * Note: we export the -f flag, but our -f behaves like coreutils' -e.
61 * Unfortunately, there isn't a C lib function we can leverage to get this
62 * behavior which means we'd have to implement the full stack ourselves :(.
