11 .SH DESCRIPTION
12 For each file name argument,
13 .IR cleanname ,
14 by lexical processing only,
15 prints the shortest equivalent string that names the same
16 (possibly hypothetical) file.
17 It eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and it lexically
18 interprets
19 .B .
20 and
21 .B ..
22 directory components in the name.
23 If the
24 .B -d
25 option is present,
26 unrooted names are prefixed with
27 .IB pwd /
28 before processing.
