  11. .SH DESCRIPTION
  12. .I Cleanname
  13. takes a
  14. .I filename
  15. and by lexical processing only returns the shortest string that names the same (possibly
  16. hypothetical) file.
  17. It eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and it lexically interprets
  18. .B .
  19. and
  20. .B ..
  21. directory components in the name.
  22. The string is overwritten in place.
  23. .PP
  24. The shortest string
  25. .I cleanname
  26. can return is two bytes: the null-terminated string
  27. \f(CW"."\f1.
  28. Therefore
  29. .I filename
  30. must contain room for at least two bytes.
