    With no options, show what symlink points to, return error if not symlink.

    Options for producing cannonical paths (all symlinks/./.. resolved):

    -e	cannonical path to existing entry (fail if missing)
    -f	full path (fail if directory missing)
    -n	no trailing newline
    -q	quiet (no output, just error code)
