okay bestie, welcome to the libssh2 manual, section 3 💅 this one's a lil baby page — a convenience macro — but we're gonna give it the full main character treatment anyway, because every page deserves love 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

libssh2_sftp_realpath — it's a convenience macro, and it's lowkey just a lil glow-up wrapper for libssh2_sftp_symlink_ex(3) ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <libssh2.h>
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>

#define libssh2_sftp_realpath(sftp, path, target, maxlen) \
    libssh2_sftp_symlink_ex((sftp), (path), strlen(path), \
                            (target), (maxlen), \
                            LIBSSH2_SFTP_REALPATH)

like… that's the whole thing. she's short, she's sweet, she's a #define. iconic 💖
