where a symlink points to

[Alexey Kutin]

Hi everyone,

Is where a way to find a real path where a symlink leads to? Say, I have
/www/domainx.com -> /usr/home/domainx.com

how to get /usr/home/domainx.com from an application? I'm looking for
a solution for Perl or C code. I mean a better one than parsing output of
'ls -l' ;)

Good luck,
Alex
