+ FileInfo.canonicalPath(filePath: string): string
+ \endcode
+ Returns a canonicalized \c filePath, i.e. an absolute path without symbolic
+ links or redundant "." or ".." elements.
+ On Windows, drive substitutions are also resolved.
+
+ It is recommended to use \c{canonicalPath} in only those cases where
+ canonical paths are really necessary. In most cases, \c{cleanPath} should
+ be enough.
