Resolve-Path
Resolve-Path is a command line tool used in Windows PowerShell that resolves the provider-specific path to a valid file or folder path. It is primarily utilized to obtain the actual path of an item in the file system. This tool allows you to provide a relative or absolute path and converts it to a valid, existing path. The Resolve-Path command helps in performing tasks, such as checking if a particular file or folder exists in a specified location. It also assists in performing operations that require the actual path of an item, such as copying or moving files. By using the Resolve-Path command, you can handle paths in a standardized manner and ensure the correct path resolution across different PowerShell providers. It is an essential tool in automating file system operations and performing various tasks efficiently from the command line.
