getcwd() to retrieve the current directory
chdir() to change to the provided path
getcwd() again to retrieve the current directory (which is resolved)
chdir() to change back to the original current directory

Subject: How to resolve an IFS path?
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
