Package meta
- 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:legacy filepaths:
type FilePath = String
operating system abstracted filepaths (
OsPath
): internally unpinnedShortByteString
(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.
An introduction into the new API can be found in this blog post. Code examples for the new API can be found here.
