CLEANNAME(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

cleanname — clean a path name, bestie ✨

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

cleanname [ -d pwd ] names ...

🛠️ DESCRIPTION 🛠️

okay so for each file name argument, cleanname does its thing by lexical processing only — no cap, no filesystem side quests — and prints the shortest equivalent string that names the same (possibly hypothetical) file 💖.

It eliminates:

• multiple slashes
• trailing slashes

and it lexically interprets . and .. directory components in the name 👑.

the -d pwd glow-up: if the -d option is present, unrooted names are prefixed with pwd/ before processing 🦋.
