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.
