File::Spec::Win32Perl Programmers Reference File::Spec::Win32(3p)

NAME
     File::Spec::Win32 - methods for Win32 file specs

SYNOPSIS
      require File::Spec::Win32; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed

DESCRIPTION
     See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods pro-
     vided there. This package overrides the implementation of
     these methods, not the semantics.

     devnull
	 Returns a string representation of the null device.

     tmpdir
	 Returns a string representation of the first existing
	 directory from the following list:

	     $ENV{TMPDIR}
	     $ENV{TEMP}
	     $ENV{TMP}
	     SYS:/temp
	     C:\system\temp
	     C:/temp
	     /tmp
	     /

	 The SYS:/temp is preferred in Novell NetWare and the
	 C:\system\temp for Symbian (the File::Spec::Win32 is
	 used also for those platforms).

	 Since Perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if
	 the environment variables are tainted, they are not
	 used.

     catfile
	 Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename
	 to form a complete path ending with a filename

     canonpath
	 No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical
	 cleanup of a path. On UNIX eliminated successive slashes
	 and successive "/.". On Win32 makes

		 dir1\dir2\dir3\..\..\dir4 -> \dir\dir4 and even
		 dir1\dir2\dir3\...\dir4   -> \dir\dir4

     splitpath
	     ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path );
	     ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file );

	 Splits a path into volume, directory, and filename

	 portions. Assumes that the last file is a path unless
	 the path ends in '\\', '\\.', '\\..' or $no_file is
	 true.	On Win32 this means that $no_file true makes this
	 return ( $volume, $path, '' ).

	 Separators accepted are \ and /.

	 Volumes can be drive letters or UNC sharenames
	 (\\server\share).

	 The results can be passed to "catpath" to get back a
	 path equivalent to (usually identical to) the original
	 path.

     splitdir
	 The opposite of catdir().

	     @dirs = File::Spec->splitdir( $directories );

	 $directories must be only the directory portion of the
	 path on systems that have the concept of a volume or
	 that have path syntax that differentiates files from
	 directories.

	 Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator,
	 leading empty and trailing directory entries can be
	 returned, because these are significant on some OSs. So,

	     File::Spec->splitdir( "/a/b/c" );

	 Yields:

	     ( '', 'a', 'b', '', 'c', '' )

     catpath
	 Takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an
	 entire path. Under Unix, $volume is ignored, and this is
	 just like catfile(). On other OSs, the $volume become
	 significant.

     Note For File::Spec::Win32 Maintainers

     Novell NetWare inherits its File::Spec behaviour from
     File::Spec::Win32.
