[comp.unix.ultrix] Getting full filename in Ultrix

marwan@ee.su.oz.au (Marwan A. Jabri, Sydney Univ. Elec. Eng., Tel: (+61-2) 692 2240) (01/10/91)

Is anybody aware of a system call under ultrix that would return the full
pathname of a file (including directory path) given the filename
(something similar to realpath under SunOS).

Thanks in advance,

Marwan Jabri
