/**
 * This differs from realpath(3) mainly in its behavior when a path element does not exist or can
 * not be searched. realpath(3) treats that as an error and gives up, but we have Java-compatible
 * behavior where we just assume the path element was not a symbolic link. This leads to a textual
 * treatment of ".." from that point in the path, which may actually lead us back to a path we
 * can resolve (as in "/tmp/does-not-exist/../blah.txt" which would be an error for realpath(3)
 * but "/tmp/blah.txt" under the traditional Java interpretation).
 *
 * This implementation also removes all the fixed-length buffers of the C original.
