# Walk Along the Path

For each path component that isn't the final component... If the component is found and is a symbolic link (symlink), we first resolve this symbolic link (with the current lookup directory as starting lookup directory), and re-start this step. The libexplain library tries to be a little more informative. `unlink(pathname = "/tmp/dangling/rubbish") failed, No such file or directory (2, ENOENT) because the "dangling" symbolic link in the pathname "/tmp" directory refers to "nowhere" that does not exist`
