 *   -f, --canonicalize
 *      canonicalize by following every symlink in
 *      every component of the given name recursively;
 *      all but the last component must exist
 *   -e, --canonicalize-existing
 *      canonicalize by following every symlink in
 *      every component of the given name recursively,
 *      all components must exist
 *   -m, --canonicalize-missing
 *      canonicalize by following every symlink in
 *      every component of the given name recursively,
 *      without requirements on components existence
 *   -n, --no-newline              do not output the trailing newline
 *   -q, --quiet, -s, --silent     suppress most error messages
 *   -v, --verbose                 report error messages
 *
 * bbox supports: -f (partially) -n -v (fully), -q -s (accepts but ignores)
 * Note: we export the -f flag, but our -f behaves like coreutils' -e.
 * Unfortunately, there isn't a C lib function we can leverage to get this
 * behavior which means we'd have to implement the full stack ourselves :(.
