CLEANNAME(1plan9)

okay bestie, welcome to cleanname from the 1plan9 manual section — CLEANNAME(1plan9), iykyk 💅

NAME 🧼

cleanname — clean a path name 💖

SYNOPSIS ✨

cleanname [ -d pwd ] names ...

DESCRIPTION 💅

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

it eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and it lexically interprets . and .. directory components in the name. yes, it's giving path-glow-up ✨

• -d pwd — if the -d option is present, unrooted names are prefixed with pwd/ before processing. 💖

lexical only, bestie. it's string surgery, not filesystem snooping. 🔥
