+function fpath = abspath(fpath)
+%ABSPATH  Converts path to an absolute path
+%
+%   Converts a relative path from the current working directory to an
+%   absolute path by glueing the pwd and the relative path together and
+%   eliminating relative references like '.' and '..'. If the provided path
+%   is already absolute, only the references like '.' and '..' are removed.
+%
+%   Syntax:
+%   fpath = abspath(fpath)
+%
+%   Input:
+%   fpath   = path to be converted
+%
+%   Output:
+%   fpath   = absolute path
+%
+%   Example
+%   fpath = abspath(fpath)
