Arguments: pathname
If pathname names a symbolic link, returns the
physical pathname of the file pointed to by the link. If
pathname does not name a symbolic link, this
function returns nil. nil is also returned if the item named by
pathname does not exist, or the directory or
filesystem do not exist but an error is signaled if
pathname names a logical pathname with an
undefined or untranslatable logical host.
pathname should be a pathname object or a string naming a pathname. The behavior when pathname names a circular link is undefined.
See also pathnames.htm for general information on pathnames in Allegro CL and see pathname-resolve-symbolic-links.
