Instructions for using the fs.realpathSync method in node.js_node.js

Method description:

Synchronized version of fs.realpath() .

Grammar:

Copy code The code is as follows:

fs.realpathSync(path, [cache])

Since this method belongs to the fs module, the fs module needs to be introduced before use (var fs= require(“fs”) )

Receive parameters:

path Path

cache                                                                                                                                                 ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ Optionally, a literal mapped path can be used to force a specific path to be resolved or to avoid the need for extra fs.stat to know the real path object.

Example:

Copy code The code is as follows:

var fs = require('fs');

// The dot indicates the path of the current file
var str = fs.realpathSync('.');
console.log(str);

Source code:

Copy code The code is as follows:

fs.realpathSync = function realpathSync(p, cache) {
  // make p is absolute
  p = pathModule.resolve(p);
  if (cache && Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(cache, p)) {
    return cache[p];
  }
  var original = p,
      seenLinks = {},
      knownHard = {};
  // current character position in p
  var pos;
  // the partial path so far, including a trailing slash if any
  var current;
  // the partial path without a trailing slash (except when pointing at a root)
  var base;
  // the partial path scanned in the previous round, with slash
  var previous;
  start();
  function start() {
    // Skip over roots
    var m = splitRootRe.exec(p);
    pos = m[0].length;

      knownHard[base] = true;
    }
  }
  // walk down the path, swapping out linked pathparts for their real
  // values
  // NB: p.length changes.
