dpkg-realpath(1) dpkg suite dpkg-realpath(1)
dpkg-realpath - print the resolved pathname with DPKG_ROOT
support
dpkg-realpath [option...] pathname
dpkg-realpath is a tool (since dpkg 1.20.1) to resolve a
pathname, that takes the dpkg(1) root directory into account,
either implicitly from the DPKG_ROOT environment variable or from
the command-line --root or --instdir options, and returns an
absolute pathname relative to the root directory. The root
directory must not be prefixed to the pathname to be resolved.
This is intended to be used by other dpkg helpers, or by
maintainer scripts instead of using realpath(1) or readlink(1) to
canonicalize pathnames, as these latter commands do not support
canonicalization relative to a different root than /.
-z, --zero
Use a NUL byte to end output lines instead of a new line
character (since dpkg 1.20.6).
--instdir directory
--root directory
Set the root directory to directory, which is the base
directory that pathnames get canonicalized against. Defaults
to «/».
-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
DPKG_ROOT
If set and the --instdir or --root options have not been
specified, it will be used as the filesystem root directory.
DPKG_COLORS
Sets the color mode. The currently accepted values are: auto
(default), always and never.
realpath(1), readlink(1).
