Description
I really appreciate the new SAF API. On top of the current utils, it would be good to have realpath equivalent and get name of the file.
Feature description
termux-saf-realpathreturns the URI in path. If it is online storage (e.g. GDrive), then perhaps return a empty stringtermux-saf-realnamereturns to name of the file
Reference implementation
Nasib's answer in this stackoverflow post seems promising to handle media files.
Many more stackoverflow posts should help.
I may make pull requests if it's preferred and when I have time to write and test the codes. Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reading the existing SAF API utilities and the linked Stack Overflow reference implementation for handling media-file URIs. Done means adding termux-saf-realpath and termux-saf-realname behavior, including the stated empty result for online storage where a real path is unavailable, and testing the commands with supported files.
