/**
 * 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.
 * 
 * @since  Always.
