#!/bin/sh

# Provide the canonicalize filename (physical filename with out any symlinks)
# like the GNU version readlink with the -f option regardless of the version of
# readlink (GNU or BSD).

# This file is part of a set of unofficial pre-commit hooks available
# at github.

# There should be no need to change anything below this line.

# Canonicalize by recursively following every symlink in every component of the
# specified filename. This should reproduce the results of the GNU version of
# readlink with the -f option.
