[Bug 999207] Re: what is the operative readlink command?

[jpvrlaone]

Sorry but I don't understand what I am not being clear about other than
I appear to not be  following the problem reporting protocol.

I probably stems from a misunderstanding of the readlink command's syntax as used in a script that was failing---readlink -f "$0".
When I tested it outside the script I got incorrect flag usage errors.
