Path Absolutize
This is a library for extending Path
and PathBuf
in order to get an absolute path and remove the containing dots.
The difference between absolutize
and canonicalize
methods is that absolutize
does not care about whether the file exists and what the file really is.
Please read the following examples to know the parsing rules.
Examples
There are two methods you can use.
absolutize
Get an absolute path.
The dots in a path will be parsed even if it is already an absolute path (which means the path starts with a MAIN_SEPARATOR
on Unix-like systems).
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
If a path starts with a single dot, the dot means current working directory.
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
If a path starts with a pair of dots, the dots means the parent of current working directory. If current working directory is root, the parent is still root.
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
let cwd_parent = CWD.parent;
match cwd_parent
A path which does not start with a MAIN_SEPARATOR
, Single Dot and Double Dots, will act like having a single dot at the start when absolutize
method is used.
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
let cwd_parent = CWD.parent;
match cwd_parent
absolutize_virtually
Get an absolute path only under a specific directory.
The dots in a path will be parsed even if it is already an absolute path (which means the path starts with a MAIN_SEPARATOR
on Unix-like systems).
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
Every absolute path should under the virtual root.
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use ErrorKind;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
Every relative path should under the virtual root.
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use ErrorKind;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use ErrorKind;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
A path which does not start with a MAIN_SEPARATOR
, Single Dot and Double Dots, will be located in the virtual root after the absolutize_virtually
method is used.
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
extern crate path_absolutize;
use Path;
use *;
let p = new;
assert_eq!;
