Description:
------------
Probably this is just a problem with the documentation as there is no usage example of realPath(). I tried several different approaches of using realPath() but everything I tried ended up in an infinite loop. But whatever the purpose of that method may be, it shouldn't result in an inifite loop

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo File_Util::realPath(".");
echo File_Util::realPath("..");
echo File_Util::realPath("./home");
echo File_Util::realPath("home");

Expected result:
----------------
? the purpose of the method is not documented yet.

Actual result:
--------------
nothing
