* -f, --canonicalize
* canonicalize by following every symlink in
* every component of the given name recursively;
* all but the last component must exist
* -e, --canonicalize-existing
* canonicalize by following every symlink in
* every component of the given name recursively,
* all components must exist
* -m, --canonicalize-missing
* canonicalize by following every symlink in
* every component of the given name recursively,
* without requirements on components existence
* -n, --no-newline do not output the trailing newline
* -q, --quiet, -s, --silent suppress most error messages
* -v, --verbose report error messages
*
* bbox supports: -f (partially) -n -v (fully), -q -s (accepts but ignores)
* Note: we export the -f flag, but our -f behaves like coreutils' -e.
* Unfortunately, there isn't a C lib function we can leverage to get this
* behavior which means we'd have to implement the full stack ourselves :(.
