Module pathutil 

Functions

safe_canonicalize

Canonicalize a path and strip the Windows verbatim/extended-length prefix (\\?\) that std::fs::canonicalize adds on Windows. This prefix breaks many tools and string-based path comparisons.

safe_canonicalize_or_self

Like safe_canonicalize but returns the original path on failure.

strip_verbatim

Remove the \\?\ / //?/ verbatim prefix from a PathBuf. Handles both regular verbatim (\\?\C:\...) and UNC verbatim (\\?\UNC\...).

strip_verbatim_str

Remove the \\?\ / //?/ verbatim prefix from a path string. Returns Some(cleaned) if a prefix was found, None otherwise.
