the absolute pathname associated with the relative file name <TT>File1</TT>.
<TT>File1</TT> can contain <TT>$<I>VAR_NAME</I></TT> sub-strings. When
such a sub-string is encountered, it is expanded with the value of the
environment variable whose name is <I><TT>VAR_NAME</TT></I> if exists
(otherwise no expansion is done). <TT>File1</TT> can also begin with a
sub-string <TT>~<I>USER_NAME</I>/</TT>, this is expanded as the home
directory of the user <I><TT>USER_NAME</TT></I>. If
<I><TT>USER_NAME</TT></I> does not exist <TT>File1</TT> is an invalid
pathname. If no <I><TT>USER_NAME</TT></I> is given (i.e. <TT>File1</TT>
begins with <TT>~/</TT>) the <TT>~</TT> character is expanded as the
value of the environment variable <TT>HOME</TT>. If the <TT>HOME</TT>
variable is not defined <TT>File1</TT> is an invalid pathname. Relative
references to the current directory (<TT>/./</TT> sub-string) and to the
parent directory (<TT>/../</TT> sub-strings) are removed and no longer
appear in <TT>File2</TT>. <TT>File1</TT> is also invalid if it contains too
many <TT>/../</TT> consecutive sub-strings (i.e. parent directory relative
references). Finally if <TT>File1</TT> is <TT>user</TT> then <TT>File2</TT>
is also unified with <TT>user</TT> to allow this predicate to be called on
Prolog file names (since <TT>user</TT> in DEC-10 input/output predicates
denotes the current input/output stream). </P><P>Most predicates using a file name implicitly call this predicate to obtain
the desired file, e.g. <TT>open/4</TT>. </P><P><B>Errors</B></P><TABLE CELLSPACING=6 CELLPADDING=0><TR><TD CLASS="hbar" COLSPAN=3></TD></TR>
