Is there a native way in Fortran to get a file's absolute path? I feel like this should be something you could obtain with INQUIRE but not currently available.
I have spent the last few days trying to interface Fortran with C functions realpath() and canonicalize_file_name() to obtain a file's absolute path but I am having trouble with that -- which will most likely be another post.
Thanks in advance for any help.

See FULLPATHQQ in the Intel Fortran documentation.

Thank you Steve for the help. I try to stay away from Intel's IFPORT module only to try to be Fortran vendor independent (I know I can use preprocessing to determine vendor...etc), but I will use for the time being. I did however get a working Fortran interface and test program using C realpath().
program test use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding implicit none ! Constants integer, parameter :: PATH_MAX=1024 ! Safer to get from the system ! Define integer :: n character(len=:), allocatable :: file_name character(len=1) :: a(PATH_MAX) character(len=PATH_MAX) :: aa type(c_ptr) :: ptr ! Fortran interface to C function, realpath() interface function realpath(path,resolved_path) bind(c,name="realpath") use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding type(c_ptr) :: realpath character(len=1,kind=c_char), intent(in) :: path(*) character(len=1,kind=c_char), intent(out) :: resolved_path(*) end function realpath end interface ! Initialize a="" file_name="./bin/connect"//C_NULL_CHAR ptr=realpath(file_name,a) ! Transfer character array to character string aa=transfer(a,aa) ! Determine the first null char do n=1,PATH_MAX if(iachar(aa(n:n)).eq.0) exit end do ! Print print *,"File name = ",file_name print *,"Absolute file name = ",aa(1:n-1) end program test

You don't need to do the TRANSFER. You're allowed to pass a non-1-length character variable to an array of characters. This is a special exemption carved out in the standard. Note that no length is passed, so you still have to make sure that the buffer you pass is large enough and that the NUL termination is properly handled.
