+ * Get the absolute path of a file.
+ * It will remove all redundant slashes, all "./":s,
+ * and all "../":s, but not resolve symbolic links.
+ * 
+ * This is a slibc extension.
+ * 
+ * @param   file  The file.
+ * @param   ref   The directory the file's specified path is
+ *                relative, `NULL` for the current working directory.
+ * @return        The file's absolute pathname. Will end with a slash
+ *                if `file` does. (Or if `ref` does but file is empty.)
+ * 
+ * @throws  ENOMEM  The process cannot allocate more memory.
