distinguish unambiguously.

-Converts a relative path to an absolute path.
-
- $abs_path = File::Spec->rel2abs( $destination ) ;
- $abs_path = File::Spec->rel2abs( $destination, $base ) ;
-
-If $base is not present or '', then L<cwd()> is used. If $base is relative,
-then it is converted to absolute form using L</rel2abs()>. This means that it
-is taken to be relative to L<cwd()>.
-
-On systems with the concept of a volume, this assumes that both paths
-are on the $base volume, and ignores the $destination volume.
-
-On systems that have a grammar that indicates filenames, this ignores the
-$base filename as well. Otherwise all path components are assumed to be
-directories.
-
-If $path is absolute, it is cleaned up and returned using L</canonpath()>.
-
-Based on code written by Shigio Yamaguchi.
+See L<File::Spec::Unix/rel2abs> for general documentation.
-No checks against the filesystem are made.
+Unlike C<File::Spec::Unix->rel2abs()>, this function will make
+checks against the local filesystem if necessary. See
+L</file_name_is_absolute> for details.
