14
15 ($name,$path,$suffix) = fileparse($fullname,@suffixlist)
16 fileparse_set_fstype($os_string);
17 $basename = basename($fullname,@suffixlist);
18 $dirname = dirname($fullname);

3b421ef0 20 ($name,$path,$suffix) = fileparse("lib/File/Basename.pm",qr{\.pm});
f06db76b 21 fileparse_set_fstype("VMS");

25=head1 DESCRIPTION
26
27These routines allow you to parse file specifications into useful
28pieces using the syntax of different operating systems.
29
30=over 4
31
32=item fileparse_set_fstype
33
34You select the syntax via the routine fileparse_set_fstype().
ee2ff9ea 35
f06db76b 36If the argument passed to it contains one of the substrings
68dc0745 37"VMS", "MSDOS", "MacOS", "AmigaOS" or "MSWin32", the file specification
55497cff 38syntax of that operating system is used in future calls to
39fileparse(), basename(), and dirname(). If it contains none of
c7b9dd21 40these substrings, Unix syntax is used. This pattern matching is
f06db76b 41case-insensitive. If you've selected VMS syntax, and the file
42specification you pass to one of these routines contains a "/",
c7b9dd21 43they assume you are using Unix emulation and apply the Unix syntax
f06db76b 44rules instead, for that function call only.
45
ee2ff9ea 46If the argument passed to it contains one of the substrings "VMS",
68dc0745 47"MSDOS", "MacOS", "AmigaOS", "os2", "MSWin32" or "RISCOS", then the pattern
ee2ff9ea 48matching for suffix removal is performed without regard for case,
49since those systems are not case-sensitive when opening existing files
50(though some of them preserve case on file creation).
51
f06db76b 52If you haven't called fileparse_set_fstype(), the syntax is chosen
f0c6ccdf 53by examining the builtin variable C<$^O> according to these rules.
f06db76b 54
55=item fileparse
56
57The fileparse() routine divides a file specification into three
58parts: a leading B<path>, a file B<name>, and a B<suffix>. The
59B<path> contains everything up to and including the last directory
60separator in the input file specification. The remainder of the input
61file specification is then divided into B<name> and B<suffix> based on
62the optional patterns you specify in C<@suffixlist>. Each element of
3b421ef0 63this list can be a qr-quoted pattern (or a string which is interpreted
64as a regular expression), and is matched
f06db76b 65against the end of B<name>. If this succeeds, the matching portion of
66B<name> is removed and prepended to B<suffix>. By proper use of
67C<@suffixlist>, you can remove file types or versions for examination.
68
69You are guaranteed that if you concatenate B<path>, B<name>, and
7e2183d3 70B<suffix> together in that order, the result will denote the same
71file as the input file specification.

75=head1 EXAMPLES
76
c7b9dd21 77Using Unix file syntax:
f06db76b 78
7e2183d3 79 ($base,$path,$type) = fileparse('/virgil/aeneid/draft.book7',
3b421ef0 80 qr{\.book\d+});
f06db76b 81
82would yield
83
84 $base eq 'draft'
7e2183d3 85 $path eq '/virgil/aeneid/',
f0542300 86 $type eq '.book7'
f06db76b 87
88Similarly, using VMS syntax:
89
90 ($name,$dir,$type) = fileparse('Doc_Root:[Help]Rhetoric.Rnh',
3b421ef0 91 qr{\..*});
f06db76b 92
93would yield
94
95 $name eq 'Rhetoric'
96 $dir eq 'Doc_Root:[Help]'
97 $type eq '.Rnh'

2ae324a7 100
f06db76b 101=item C<basename>
102
103The basename() routine returns the first element of the list produced
44a8e56a 104by calling fileparse() with the same arguments, except that it always
105quotes metacharacters in the given suffixes. It is provided for
c7b9dd21 106programmer compatibility with the Unix shell command basename(1).
f06db76b 107
108=item C<dirname>
109
110The dirname() routine returns the directory portion of the input file
111specification. When using VMS or MacOS syntax, this is identical to the
112second element of the list produced by calling fileparse() with the same
7e2183d3 113input file specification. (Under VMS, if there is no directory information
114in the input file specification, then the current default device and
c7b9dd21 115directory are returned.) When using Unix or MSDOS syntax, the return
116value conforms to the behavior of the Unix shell command dirname(1). This
f06db76b 117is usually the same as the behavior of fileparse(), but differs in some
118cases. For example, for the input file specification F<lib/>, fileparse()
119considers the directory name to be F<lib/>, while dirname() considers the
120directory name to be F<.>).
