canonpath
No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a path. On UNIX eliminated successive slashes and successive "/.".
splitpath
($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path );
($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file );
Splits a path in to volume, directory, and filename portions. Assumes that the last file is a path unless the path ends in '/', '/.', '/..'
or $no_file is true. On Win32 this means that $no_file true makes this return ( $volume, $path, undef ).
Separators accepted are and /.
Volumes can be drive letters or UNC sharenames (\servershare).
The results can be passed to "catpath" to get back a path equivalent to (usually identical to) the original path.
splitdir
The opposite of catdir().
@dirs = File::Spec->splitdir( $directories );
$directories must be only the directory portion of the path on systems that have the concept of a volume or that have path syntax that dif-
ferentiates files from directories.
Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator, leading empty and trailing directory entries can be returned, because these are
significant on some OSs. So,
File::Spec->splitdir( "/a/b//c/" );
Yields:
( '', 'a', 'b', '', 'c', '' )
catpath
Takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an entire path. Under Unix, $volume is ignored, and this is just like cat-
file(). On other OSs, the $volume become significant.
NAME
File::Spec::OS2 - methods for OS/2 file specs
SYNOPSIS
require File::Spec::OS2; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
DESCRIPTION
See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the
semantics.
