std/pathnorm (original) (raw)

Source Edit

OS-Path normalization. Used by os.nim but also generally useful for dealing with paths.

Unstable API.

Procs

proc addNormalizePath(x: string; result: var string; state: var int; dirSep = DirSep) {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}

Low level proc. Undocumented.Source Edit

proc normalizePath(path: string; dirSep = DirSep): string {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}

Example:

when defined(posix): doAssert normalizePath("./foo//bar/../baz") == "foo/baz"

• Turns multiple slashes into single slashes.
• Resolves '/foo/../bar' to '/bar'.
• Removes './' from the path, but "foo/.." becomes ".". Source Edit
