This is a implementation of realpath() function in Go (golang).

If you provide it with a valid relative path / alias path, it will return you with a string of its real absolute path in the system.

The original version is created by Taru Karttunen in golang-nuts group. You may read the original post about it.

go get github.com/yookoala/realpath

import "github.com/yookoala/realpath"

func main() {
	myRealpath, err := realpath.Realpath("/some/path")
}
