# realpath-native
> Use the system's native `realpath`

Node 9.3 added `fs.realpath(Sync).native`. On older Nodes you have to use
`process.binding` to access the same function. This module does that check for
you.
The advantage of the native `realpath` over `fs.realpath` is that the native one
better supports paths on Windows.
On node 4 the function uses the old `fs.realpath` function.
## Install
Install the module with `npm`:
```sh
$ npm install realpath-native
```
## Usage
```js
const realpath = require('realpath-native');
realpath('some-path'); // returns a promise
realpath.sync('some-path');
```
## API
### realpath(path)
Returns a promise for the resolved path of the input.
#### path
Type: `string`
### realpath.sync(path)
Returns the resolved path of the input synchronously.
#### path
Type: `string`
