  26
  27 Given a pointer to a string containing a pathname, returns a canonical
  28 version of the filename.  Symlinks will be resolved, and ``.'' and ``..''
  29 components will be simplified.  The returned value will be allocated using
  30 @code{malloc}, or @code{NULL} will be returned on a memory allocation error.
