You'd think this functionality would be included already in one or
another linux utility.  It's kinda like the complement to the
'basename' utility.  I've looked into the dark corners of ls, stat,
file, bash, type, find, and a few other linux standards, but nothing
seems to do this.

'readlink -f FILE'

The -f (or --canonicalize) follows symlinks and prints the canonical
path.


Perfect!  Thanks!!!
