Hi Nikolay,
We use guestfish, so I preferred to use commands supported by guestfish.
I tried as below but "realpath" is not working after I have the target path from
symlink.
--> Check if the path has a symlink.
is-symlink path
Ex. - is-symlink "/etc/resolv.conf" -> return true
--> If it's true then get target link path
readlink path
ex. - readlink "/etc/resolv.conf" --> return
"../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf"
--> Which return's target path but it's not a full path, so needs to get full
path to access the target file.
Tried to use realpath as below using target path from above return but it's giving
None
ex. - realpath "../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf" --> return None
Can you tell me how can I get the real path as without the full canonicalized absolute
path I can't do anything with that file.
Thanks,
Chintan

symbolic links
If it is one time operation you can call 'realpath'
(
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_realpath) first to
resolve symlink.

HI,
I’m trying to use copu-out command to copy files from remote disk but it’s not working if
the file is symbolic link.
copy-out giving an error like below.
libguestfs: error: ‘/etc/resolv.conf’ is not a file or directory
This file is there but it's a symbolic link
Do you have any other way to copy remote symbolic link files?
Thanks,
Chintan
