NAME

       cleanname - clean a path name

SYNOPSIS

       cleanname [ -d pwd ] names ...

DESCRIPTION

       For  each  file  name  argument, cleanname, by lexical processing only,
       prints the shortest equivalent string that  names  the  same  (possibly
       hypothetical)  file.   It eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and
       it lexically interprets .  and ..  directory components  in  the  name.
       If  the  -d  option  is  present, unrooted names are prefixed with pwd/
       before processing.
