path

Pure path-string math: abs, rel, clean, is_abs, expand_user.

Naming convention: import the module under its bare name (import "path"), reach members with a backslash, and call methods in camelCase: path\someMethod.

Methods

abs

Return the absolute form of path, resolved against the current directory and lexically cleaned.

Signature: path\abs(path) → string · source

Returns: string

rel

Return a relative path from base to target; errors if no relative path exists.

Signature: path\rel(base, target) → string · source

Returns: string

clean

Return the shortest lexically-equivalent path (resolves . and .., collapses separators).

Signature: path\clean(path) → string · source

Returns: string

isAbs

Report whether path is absolute.

Signature: path\isAbs(path) → bool · source

Returns: bool

expandUser

Expand a leading ~ (or ~/...) to the current user's home directory; other paths are returned unchanged.

Signature: path\expandUser(path) → string · source

Returns: string
