relative_path.sh

Axis 221 camera embedded programing interface

#! /bin/sh
# This script computes a relative pathname from $1 to $2
# They are assumed to not contain . or .. pathname components,
# but if both directories exist and cd/pwd canonicalizes pathnames,
# this shouldn't matter.  PWD_CMD may be set to some pwd command that does.
