+use crate::fs::asyncify;

+use std::path::{Path, PathBuf};
+
+/// Returns the canonical, absolute form of a path with all intermediate
+/// components normalized and symbolic links resolved.
+///
+/// This is an async version of [`std::fs::canonicalize`][std]
+///
+/// [std]: std::fs::canonicalize
+///
+/// # Platform-specific behavior
+///
+/// This function currently corresponds to the `realpath` function on Unix
+/// and the `CreateFile` and `GetFinalPathNameByHandle` functions on Windows.
+/// Note that, this [may change in the future][changes].
+///
+/// On Windows, this converts the path to use [extended length path][path]
+/// syntax, which allows your program to use longer path names, but means you
+/// can only join backslash-delimited paths to it, and it may be incompatible
+/// with other applications (if passed to the application on the command-line,
+/// or written to a file another application may read).
+///
+/// [changes]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/index.html#platform-specific-behavior
+/// [path]: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#maxpath
+///
+/// # Errors
+///
+/// This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not
+/// limited to just these cases:
+///
+/// * `path` does not exist.
+/// * A non-final component in path is not a directory.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// use tokio::fs;
+/// use std::io;
+///
+/// #[tokio::main]
+/// async fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
+///     let path = fs::canonicalize("../a/../foo.txt").await?;
+///     Ok(())
+/// }
+/// ```
