Method: Pathname#cleanpath

Defined in:
lib/pathname.rb

#cleanpath(consider_symlink = false) ⇒ Object

Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.

If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided.

See Pathname#realpath.
