.TH READLINK 1 sbase\-VERSION
.SH NAME
readlink \- print value of a symbolic link or canonical file name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B readlink
.RB [ \-fn ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
The readlink utility when invoked with the pathname of a symbolic link as
its argument dereferences the symbolic link and prints the name of target
on standard output. If the -f option is not specified and readlink is
invoked with an argument other than the pathname of a symbolic link, it
exits with a nonzero exit code without printing anything.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-f
Canonicalize by following every symlink in every component of the
given path recursively. The argument does not need to be a symbolic
link.
.TP
.B \-n
Do not output the trailing newline.
