toAbsolutePath -- the absolute path version of a file name

Synopsis

Description

i1 : toAbsolutePath "a/b.m2"

o1 = /builddir/build/BUILD/Macaulay2-1.2/Macaulay2/packages/Macaulay2Doc-
     temporary/a/b.m2

Paths of the form foo/x/../bar, are shortened to foo/bar without checking the file system to see whether x is a symbolic link. For the other behavior, see realpath.
