Synopsis

Library for manipulating FilePaths in a cross platform way.

Description

This package provides functionality for manipulating FilePath values, and is shipped with GHC. It provides two variants for filepaths:

1. legacy filepaths: type FilePath = String

2. operating system abstracted filepaths (OsPath): internally unpinned ShortByteString (platform-dependent encoding)

It is recommended to use OsPath when possible, because it is more correct.

For each variant there are three main modules:

• System.FilePath.Posix / System.OsPath.Posix manipulates POSIX/Linux style FilePath values (with / as the path separator).

• System.FilePath.Windows / System.OsPath.Windows manipulates Windows style FilePath values (with either \ or / as the path separator, and deals with drives).

• System.FilePath / System.OsPath for dealing with current platform-specific filepaths

System.OsString is like System.OsPath, but more general purpose. Refer to the documentation of those modules for more information.
