6/// Returns the canonical form of a path.
7///
8/// The returned path is in absolute form with all intermediate components normalized and symbolic
9/// links resolved.
10///
11/// This function is an async version of [`std::fs::canonicalize`].

13/// [`std::fs::canonicalize`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.canonicalize.html
14///
15/// # Errors
16///
17/// An error will be returned in the following situations:
18///
19/// * `path` does not point to an existing file or directory.
20/// * A non-final component in `path` is not a directory.
21/// * Some other I/O error occurred.
22///
23/// # Examples
24///
25/// ```no_run
26/// # fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> { async_std::task::block_on(async {
27/// #
28/// use async_std::fs;
29///
30/// let path = fs::canonicalize(".").await?;
31/// #
32/// # Ok(()) }) }
33/// ```
