How do I get the target of a symlink?
Solution 1:
I think readlink is what you are looking for:
File.readlink("path/to/symlink")
Solution 2:
require 'pathname'
Pathname.new("symlink").realpath
or readlink as others said
Solution 3:
Or you can try:
File.realpath("symlink_path")
Which works for both symlinks and normal files.
