27 Given a pointer to a string containing a pathname, returns a canonical
28 version of the filename. Symlinks will be resolved, and ``.'' and ``..''
29 components will be simplified. The returned value will be allocated using
30 @code{malloc}, or @code{NULL} will be returned on a memory allocation error.
