15    Options for producing canonical paths (all symlinks/./.. resolved):
16
17    -e	Canonical path to existing entry (fail if missing)
18    -f	Full path (fail if directory missing)
19    -m	Ignore missing entries, show where it would be
20    -n	No trailing newline
21    -q	Quiet (no output, just error code)
