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.
