xample, with a symlink to / with name hi in /dir, one could obtain file paths: /dir/file, /dir/hi/dir/file, /dir/hi/dir/hi/dir/file. Note that it is perfectly legal for symlinks to point upwards, downwards or sidewards in the file system hierarchy, and even back to the directory they are placed in. For the purpose of this problem, ./ or../ or // path components are not considered allowed in path names.</div></div></div></div></div><div class="row"><div class="column"><h4 class="ui top attached block header"
