EMILUA(3em)

💅 EMILUA(3em) — like, the manual page bestie

okay so this is the EMILUA(3em) page, and it's giving Lua execution engine energy ✨ — welcome to the group chat, bestie, let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Emilua — Lua execution engine 👑

(yes that's the whole name section, it's short and it ate 💅)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

local fs = require "filesystem"
fs.canonical(p: fs.path) -> fs.path

so you pull in filesystem with require, and then fs.canonical takes one fs.path and hands you back an fs.path — that's the whole vibe check 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so fs.canonical returns a canonical absolute path that references the same file system location as p 🎀

that's it. that's the function. no cap, it's literally just handing you back the canonical, absolute version of the path you gave it, pointing at the exact same spot on your filesystem 🌈

ngl bestie, the manual doesn't spell out any extra rules here, so don't go assuming stuff the page didn't say 🙈 everything you need is right there: canonical, absolute, same file system location as p. periodt 💅

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

hmm, this page doesn't list any SEE ALSO references — it's a solo main character moment 👑✨

mwah 💋 that's the whole page, and it was iconic. this lil' beauty comes from Emilua version 0.12.1-nixpkgs1 and it's dated 1980-01-01 — yeah, the date is older than your mom's mixtape, don't ask 😭💀 stay hydrated, run your paths through fs.canonical, and slay the day, bestie 🧚💜
