Method description:
Get the real path.
Relative paths can be resolved using process.cwd.
grammar:
The code copy is as follows:
fs.realpath(path, [cache], [callback(err, resolvedPath)])
Since this method belongs to the fs module, it is necessary to introduce the fs module before use (var fs= require("fs") )
Receive parameters:
path path
cache optionally, a literal mapped path can be used to force a specific path to resolve or avoid additional fs.stat needs to know the real path object.
callback callback
err Exception
resolvedPath real address
example:
The code copy is as follows:
var cache = {'/etc':'/private/etc'};
fs.realpath('/etc/passwd', cache, function (err, resolvedPath) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(resolvedPath);
});
Source code:
The code copy is as follows:
fs.realpath = function realpath(p, cache, cb) {

cb = maybeCallback(cache);
cache = null;
}
// make p is absolute
p = pathModule.resolve(p);

// current character position in p
var pos;
// the partial path so far, including a trailing slash if any
var current;
// the partial path without a trailing slash (except when pointing at a root)
var base;
// the partial path scanned in the previous round, with slash
var previous;
start();
function start() {
// Skip over roots
var m = splitRootRe.exec(p);

// values
