realpath: Suppress error messages.
$ realpath --quiet ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine
The realpath command is used to print the resolved absolute path of a given filename or directory. It eliminates any relative path elements and replaces symbolic links with their target paths.
In this particular command, the --quiet option is used to suppress any error or informational messages. It ensures that only the resolved absolute path is returned without any additional output.
The ${filename_or_directory} is a placeholder indicating that you should replace it with the actual filename or directory path for which you want to retrieve the absolute path. For example, if you have a file named "test.txt" in the current directory, you can use:
realpath --quiet test.txtThis command will provide you with the resolved absolute path of the "test.txt" file.
