Aardvark Shellutils

The Aardvark Shell Utils collection includes the following three utilities: 

    Realpath- implementation of the 'realpath' function for returning
    the canonicalized absolute pathname of an input path. This
    generates an absolute pathname with all symlinks resolved and all
    '.' and '..' characters removed. Many commands do not work well
    with relative paths or paths containing symlinks. Realpath
    resolves these absolute paths. 

    Filebase- returns the base portion of a filename, that is the
    filename with its extension (e.g. .txt) removed. It returns
    everything preceeding the last period in the input string. The
    period itself is not returned.

    Fileext- returns the extension portion of a filename
    (e.g. txt). It returns everything following the last period in the
    input string. The period itself is not returned.
