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.
