FAQ

1. Why create a quirky path library?

Forked from std::path, the library provides as much cross-platform path manipulation capability as possible.

One major use case is serving as an intermediary server: receiving path data from clients, performing path operations, and then forwarding it to a third party service (with the third party's system platform determined solely by the client).

2. Support List

• *nix Paths (without /): /bin/sh
• Windows Verbatim: \\?\cat_pics
• Windows Verbatim UNC: \\?\UNC\server\share
• Windows Verbatim Disk: \\?\C:
• Windows DeviceNS: \\.\COM42
• Windows UNC: \\server\share
• Windows Disk: C:

3. Quirks

• Think any of / or \ be a seperator or special mark

• Prefer think paths that not have verbatim prefix and start with / be *nix-like root paths

• Prefer think paths start with drive as windows drive paths, and if not contains / sep then default use \ sep

• When call absolute method it will not trim components trailing space and dots (windows style) and not remove parent ..

• Prefer think paths that not have verbatim prefix and start with \ be *windows-like root paths

• Lack of extra information, think COM1 as relative path
