Pathname resolution

val is_posix_pathname_component : Base.String.t -> Base.Bool.t

is_posix_pathname_component f

  • returns

    true if f is a valid path component on a POSIX compliant OS

    Note that this checks a path component, and not a full path.

val temp_dir_name : Base.String.t

The name of the temporary directory:

Under Unix, the value of the TMPDIR environment variable, or "/tmp" if the variable is not set.

Under Windows, the value of the TEMP environment variable, or "." if the variable is not set.

val current_dir_name : Base.String.t

The conventional name for the current directory (e.g. . in Unix).

val parent_dir_name : Base.String.t

The conventional name for the parent of the current directory (e.g. .. in Unix).

val dir_sep : Base.String.t

The directory separator (e.g. / in Unix).

val concat : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t -> Base.String.t

concat p1 p2 returns a path equivalent to p1 ^ "/" ^ p2. In the resulting path p1 (resp. p2) has all its trailing (resp. leading) "." and "/" removed. eg: concat "a/." ".//b" => "a/b" concat "." "b" => "./b" concat "a" "." => "a/." concat "a" "/b" => "a/b"

@throws Failure if p1 is empty.

val is_relative : Base.String.t -> Base.Bool.t

Return true if the file name is relative to the current directory, false if it is absolute (i.e. in Unix, starts with /).

val is_absolute : Base.String.t -> Base.Bool.t
val is_implicit : Base.String.t -> Base.Bool.t

Return true if the file name is relative and does not start with an explicit reference to the current directory (./ or ../ in Unix), false if it starts with an explicit reference to the root directory or the current directory.

val check_suffix : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t -> Base.Bool.t

check_suffix name suff returns true if the filename name ends with the suffix suff.

val chop_suffix : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t -> Base.String.t

chop_suffix name suff removes the suffix suff from the filename name. The behavior is undefined if name does not end with the suffix suff.

val chop_extension : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t

Return the given file name without its extension. The extension is the shortest suffix starting with a period and not including a directory separator, .xyz for instance.

Raise Invalid_argument if the given name does not contain an extension.

val split_extension : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t * Base.String.t Base.Option.t

split_extension fn return the portion of the filename before the extension and the (optional) extension. Example: split_extension "/foo/my_file" = ("/foo/my_file", None) split_extension "/foo/my_file.txt" = ("/foo/my_file", Some "txt") split_extension "/home/c.falls/my_file" = ("/home/c.falls/my_file", None)

val basename : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t

Respects the posix semantic.

Split a file name into directory name / base file name. concat (dirname name) (basename name) returns a file name which is equivalent to name. Moreover, after setting the current directory to dirname name (with Sys.chdir), references to basename name (which is a relative file name) designate the same file as name before the call to Sys.chdir.

The result is not specified if the argument is not a valid file name (for example, under Unix if there is a NUL character in the string).

val dirname : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t

See Filename.basename.

val split : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t * Base.String.t

split filename returns (dirname filename, basename filename)

val parts : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t Base.List.t

parts filename returns a list of path components in order. For instance: /tmp/foo/bar/baz -> "/"; "tmp"; "foo"; "bar"; "baz". The first component is always either "." for relative paths or "/" for absolute ones.

val of_parts : Base.String.t Base.List.t -> Base.String.t

of_parts parts joins a list of path components into a path. It does roughly the opposite of parts, but they fail to be precisely mutually inverse because of ambiguities like multiple consecutive slashes and . components.

Raises an error if given an empty list.

val quote : Base.String.t -> Base.String.t

Return a quoted version of a file name, suitable for use as one argument in a command line, escaping all meta-characters. Warning: under Windows, the output is only suitable for use with programs that follow the standard Windows quoting conventions.

See Sys.quote for an alternative implementation that is more human readable but less portable.
