The way I have done this is:

Establish the directory name of the file in question (Other unix-style
systems have dirname and basename but they are missing from the APIs list.
Not hard to roll your own if you cannot find it for AIX.) Once you have
dir
name, do a CHDIR to that value. Then obtain the current directory
('getcwd'). The result will be the resolved name.
