Detailed Description

Contains platform-independent C++ functions for pathname manipulation.

Function Documentation

abspath()

std::string b2000::path::abspath

(

const std::string &

path

)

Return a normalized absolutized version of the pathname path.

This adds the current directory if necessary and collapses redundant separators and up-level references, e.g. A//B, A/./B and A/foo/../B all become A/B.

basename()

std::string b2000::path::basename

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

the base name of the path.

dirname()

std::string b2000::path::dirname

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

the directory name of the path.

getcwd()

std::string b2000::path::getcwd

(

)

Returns

the name of the current directory.

isabs()

bool b2000::path::isabs

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

Whether path is an absolute pathname (begins with a slash).

isdir()

bool b2000::path::isdir

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

Whether path is an existing directory.

This follows symbolic links, so both islink() and isdir() can be true for the same path.

isexec()

bool b2000::path::isexec

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

Whether path is an executable file.

This follows symbolic links, so both islink() and isexec() can be true for the same path.

isfile()

bool b2000::path::isfile

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

Whether path is an existing regular file.

This follows symbolic links, so both islink() and isfile() can be true for the same path.

islink()

bool b2000::path::islink

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

Whether path refers to a directory entry that is a symbolic link. Always false if symbolic links are not supported.

join()

std::string b2000::path::join	(	const std::string &	a,
		const std::string &	b
	)

Join two fragments to a path.

realpath()

std::string b2000::path::realpath

(

const std::string &

path

)

Expand all symbolic links and return the result.

rmtree()

void b2000::path::rmtree	(	const std::string &	path,
		bool	ignore_errors = false
	)

Remove a complete directory tree.

splitext()

std::pair< std::string, std::string > b2000::path::splitext

(

const std::string &

path

)

Returns

a pair (first, second) with first the path without the extension, and second containing the extension. If the path has no extension, second will be empty.

which()

std::string b2000::path::which

(

const std::string &

cmd

)

Return the full path to the first match of the given command according to the PATH environment variable.
