NAME
File::Spec::Unix - methods used by File::Spec
SYNOPSIS
require File::Spec::Unix;
DESCRIPTION
Methods for manipulating file specifications.
METHODS
- canonpath
-
No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a
path. On UNIX eliminated successive slashes and successive ``/.''.
- catdir
-
Concatenate two or more directory names to form a complete path ending
with a directory. But remove the trailing slash from the resulting
string, because it doesn't look good, isn't necessary and confuses
OS2. Of course, if this is the root directory, don't cut off the
trailing slash :-)
- catfile
-
Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
complete path ending with a filename
- curdir
-
Returns a string representing of the current directory. ``.'' on UNIX.
- rootdir
-
Returns a string representing of the root directory. ``/'' on UNIX.
- updir
-
Returns a string representing of the parent directory. ``..'' on UNIX.
- no_upwards
-
Given a list of file names, strip out those that refer to a parent
directory. (Does not strip symlinks, only `.', `..', and equivalents.)
- file_name_is_absolute
-
Takes as argument a path and returns true, if it is an absolute path.
- path
-
Takes no argument, returns the environment variable PATH as an array.
- join
-
join is the same as catfile.
- nativename
-
TBW.
