Function joat_path::clean

source ·
pub fn clean(path: &str) -> String
Expand description

The core implementation. It performs the following, lexically:

  1. Reduce multiple slashes to a single slash.
  2. Eliminate . path name elements (the current directory).
  3. Eliminate .. path name elements (the parent directory) and the non-. non-.., element that precedes them.
  4. Eliminate .. elements that begin a rooted path, that is, replace /.. by / at the beginning of a path.
  5. Leave intact .. elements that begin a non-rooted path.

If the result of this process is an empty string, return the string ".", representing the current directory.
