If I have a path name such as 'blah', the OS assumes the base directory is
my home, so is resolved to '/loydg/blah'. Or, if a path is
'/home/httpd/../otherfiles', it is resolved to '/home/otherfiles'. Is there
an API that will return this resolved path, so I can programmatically
determine if the path should be processed? For example, I might not want to
process '/QSYS.LIB', but a user could specify
'../../../../QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB'. I looked in the UNIX-type APIs for the IFS
but nothing jumped out as suitable. On V5R4.

Thanks,
Loyd
