29=head1 NAME
30
31File::Spec - portably perform operations on file names
32
33=head1 SYNOPSIS
34
35 use File::Spec;
36
37 $x=File::Spec->catfile('a', 'b', 'c');
38
39which returns 'a/b/c' under Unix. Or:
40
41 use File::Spec::Functions;
42
43 $x = catfile('a', 'b', 'c');
44
45=head1 DESCRIPTION
46
47This module is designed to support operations commonly performed on file
48specifications (usually called "file names", but not to be confused with the
49contents of a file, or Perl's file handles), such as concatenating several
50directory and file names into a single path, or determining whether a path
51is rooted. It is based on code directly taken from MakeMaker 5.17, code
52written by Andreas KE<ouml>nig, Andy Dougherty, Charles Bailey, Ilya
53Zakharevich, Paul Schinder, and others.
54
55Since these functions are different for most operating systems, each set of
56OS specific routines is available in a separate module, including:
57
58 File::Spec::Unix
59 File::Spec::Mac
60 File::Spec::OS2
61 File::Spec::Win32
62 File::Spec::VMS
63
64The module appropriate for the current OS is automatically loaded by
65File::Spec. Since some modules (like VMS) make use of facilities available
66only under that OS, it may not be possible to load all modules under all
67operating systems.
68
69Since File::Spec is object oriented, subroutines should not be called directly,
70as in:
71
72 File::Spec::catfile('a','b');
73
74but rather as class methods:
75
76 File::Spec->catfile('a','b');
77
78For simple uses, L<File::Spec::Functions> provides convenient functional
79forms of these methods.
80
81=head1 METHODS
82
83=over 2
84
85=item canonpath
86X<canonpath>
87
88No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a
89path.
90
91 $cpath = File::Spec->canonpath( $path ) ;
92
93Note that this does *not* collapse F<x/../y> sections into F<y>. This
94is by design. If F</foo> on your system is a symlink to F</bar/baz>,
95then F</foo/../quux> is actually F</bar/quux>, not F</quux> as a naive
96F<../>-removal would give you. If you want to do this kind of
97processing, you probably want C<Cwd>'s C<realpath()> function to
98actually traverse the filesystem cleaning up paths like this.
99
100=item catdir
101X<catdir>
102
103Concatenate two or more directory names to form a complete path ending
104with a directory. But remove the trailing slash from the resulting
105string, because it doesn't look good, isn't necessary and confuses
106OS/2. Of course, if this is the root directory, don't cut off the
107trailing slash :-)
108
109 $path = File::Spec->catdir( @directories );
110
111=item catfile
112X<catfile>
113
114Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
115complete path ending with a filename
116
117 $path = File::Spec->catfile( @directories, $filename );
118
119=item curdir
120X<curdir>
121
122Returns a string representation of the current directory.
123
124 $curdir = File::Spec->curdir();
125
126=item devnull
127X<devnull>
128
129Returns a string representation of the null device.
130
131 $devnull = File::Spec->devnull();
132
133=item rootdir
134X<rootdir>
135
136Returns a string representation of the root directory.
137
138 $rootdir = File::Spec->rootdir();
139
140=item tmpdir
141X<tmpdir>
142
143Returns a string representation of the first writable directory from a
144list of possible temporary directories. Returns the current directory
145if no writable temporary directories are found. The list of directories
146checked depends on the platform; e.g. File::Spec::Unix checks C<$ENV{TMPDIR}>
147(unless taint is on) and F</tmp>.
148
149 $tmpdir = File::Spec->tmpdir();
150
151=item updir
152X<updir>
153
154Returns a string representation of the parent directory.
155
156 $updir = File::Spec->updir();
157
158=item no_upwards
159
160Given a list of file names, strip out those that refer to a parent
161directory. (Does not strip symlinks, only '.', '..', and equivalents.)
162
163 @paths = File::Spec->no_upwards( @paths );
164
165=item case_tolerant
166
167Returns a true or false value indicating, respectively, that alphabetic
168case is not or is significant when comparing file specifications.
169
170 $is_case_tolerant = File::Spec->case_tolerant();
171
172=item file_name_is_absolute
173
174Takes as its argument a path, and returns true if it is an absolute path.
175
176 $is_absolute = File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute( $path );
177
178This does not consult the local filesystem on Unix, Win32, OS/2, or
179Mac OS (Classic). It does consult the working environment for VMS
180(see L<File::Spec::VMS/file_name_is_absolute>).
181
182=item path
183X<path>
184
185Takes no argument. Returns the environment variable C<PATH> (or the local
186platform's equivalent) as a list.
187
188 @PATH = File::Spec->path();
189
190=item join
191X<join, path>
192
193join is the same as catfile.
194
195=item splitpath
196X<splitpath> X<split, path>
197
198Splits a path in to volume, directory, and filename portions. On systems
199with no concept of volume, returns '' for volume.
200
201 ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path );
202 ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file );
203
204For systems with no syntax differentiating filenames from directories,
205assumes that the last file is a path unless C<$no_file> is true or a
206trailing separator or F</.> or F</..> is present. On Unix, this means that C<$no_file>
207true makes this return ( '', $path, '' ).
208
209The directory portion may or may not be returned with a trailing '/'.
210
211The results can be passed to L</catpath()> to get back a path equivalent to
212(usually identical to) the original path.
213
214=item splitdir
215X<splitdir> X<split, dir>
216
217The opposite of L</catdir()>.
218
219 @dirs = File::Spec->splitdir( $directories );
220
221C<$directories> must be only the directory portion of the path on systems
222that have the concept of a volume or that have path syntax that differentiates
223files from directories.
224
225Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator, empty
226directory names (C<''>) can be returned, because these are significant
227on some OSes.
228
229=item catpath()
230
231Takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an entire path. Under
232Unix, C<$volume> is ignored, and directory and file are concatenated. A '/' is
233inserted if need be. On other OSes, C<$volume> is significant.
234
235 $full_path = File::Spec->catpath( $volume, $directory, $file );
236
237=item abs2rel
238X<abs2rel> X<absolute, path> X<relative, path>
239
240Takes a destination path and an optional base path returns a relative path
241from the base path to the destination path:
242
243 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path ) ;
244 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path, $base ) ;
245
246If C<$base> is not present or '', then L<Cwd::cwd()|Cwd> is used. If C<$base> is
247relative, then it is converted to absolute form using
248L</rel2abs()>. This means that it is taken to be relative to
249L<Cwd::cwd()|Cwd>.
250
251On systems with the concept of volume, if C<$path> and C<$base> appear to be
252on two different volumes, we will not attempt to resolve the two
253paths, and we will instead simply return C<$path>. Note that previous
254versions of this module ignored the volume of C<$base>, which resulted in
255garbage results part of the time.
256
257On systems that have a grammar that indicates filenames, this ignores the
258C<$base> filename as well. Otherwise all path components are assumed to be
259directories.
260
261If C<$path> is relative, it is converted to absolute form using L</rel2abs()>.
262This means that it is taken to be relative to L<Cwd::cwd()|Cwd>.
263
264No checks against the filesystem are made. On VMS, there is
265interaction with the working environment, as logicals and
266macros are expanded.
267
268Based on code written by Shigio Yamaguchi.
269
270=item rel2abs()
271X<rel2abs> X<absolute, path> X<relative, path>
272
273Converts a relative path to an absolute path.
274
275 $abs_path = File::Spec->rel2abs( $path ) ;
276 $abs_path = File::Spec->rel2abs( $path, $base ) ;
277
278If C<$base> is not present or '', then L<Cwd::cwd()|Cwd> is used. If C<$base> is relative,
279then it is converted to absolute form using L</rel2abs()>. This means that it
280is taken to be relative to L<Cwd::cwd()|Cwd>.
281
282On systems with the concept of volume, if C<$path> and C<$base> appear to be
283on two different volumes, we will not attempt to resolve the two
284paths, and we will instead simply return C<$path>. Note that previous
285versions of this module ignored the volume of C<$base>, which resulted in
286garbage results part of the time.
287
288On systems that have a grammar that indicates filenames, this ignores the
289C<$base> filename as well. Otherwise all path components are assumed to be
290directories.
291
292If C<$path> is absolute, it is cleaned up and returned using L</canonpath()>.
293
294No checks against the filesystem are made. On VMS, there is
295interaction with the working environment, as logicals and
296macros are expanded.
