How to get the absolute path for a given relative path programmatically in Linux?
Incase of Windows we have the _fullpath() API. In other words, I mean what is analogous API to _fullpath of Windows in Linux?
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.
