The readlink utility has different modes for canonization:

       -f, --canonicalize
              canonicalize by following every symlink in every component of the given name recursively; all but the last component must exist

       -e, --canonicalize-existing
              canonicalize by following every symlink in every component of the given name recursively, all components must exist

       -m, --canonicalize-missing
              canonicalize by following every symlink in every component of the given name recursively, without requirements on components existence

I think every mode has use cases.
