Does lsof always show the resolved absolute pathnames of opened files
In the output of lsof, does the NAME column always output the resolved absolute pathnames of opened files (resolved in the sense of no symlink, . or .. in the pathname)?
For example, if I cd into some symlink to a directory, and then run a program to open a file under that directory, does lsof only show the resolved absolute pathname of the file?
Can I make lsof output the unresolved absolute pathnames of opened files (unresolved in the sense that directory symlinks should appear in pathnames)?
Thanks.
