Scylla and Charybdis getrealpath - Tools

The tools are developed under Linux with ESR's paradigm release early, release often in mind.
So you can consider this beta software, or alpha, or pre-alpha, or even worse ;)

Have a look in the download directory for all downloads.
As always here, all you get is the source. No binaries here.

getrealpath 0.1.0-20081125-015158

Print realpath to stdout (look into latest version, download latest version 0.1.0-20081125-015158, sig)

Actually there is a "realpath" utility for Debian which has more features than this here.

However I want tools which are optimized for pipe usage. So I wanted to have something like

find . -type f | getrealpath - | ...

History:

version 0.1.0-20081125-015158

download (224464 bytes) sig

Now uses my own implementation of getrealpath, not the libc variant.

This improves behavior on non-existent paths, as the behavior on non-existent files is not defined in the libc variant. Note that the GNU libc v2 seems to work similar to what I did, however I do not want to rely on undocumented behavior (undocumented according to POSIX).

version 0.0.2-20061003-224034

download (132873 bytes)

Another fix in the source for Ubuntu

version 0.0.1-20061003-222950

(132674 bytes archive)

Now with tinolib which allows compile under Ubuntu, too.

The probelem is, that Ubuntu has no gawk as /bin/awk, but my scripts need gawk.

version 0.0.0-20060928-035513

(132421 bytes archive)

First version.
