String Operations On Paths (CMDS: Realpath, Basename and Dirname)

This document discusses three string operations - realpath, basename, and dirname - that can be performed on file paths in Bash shell scripts. realpath converts a relative path to an absolute path without validating it. basename strips directory information and suffixes from filenames. dirname deletes any suffix beginning with the last slash and returns the directory portion of the path.
