59605c55 46=item catdir()
270d1e39 47
be708cc0 48Concatenate two or more directory names to form a path separated by colons
2586ba89 49(":") ending with a directory. Resulting paths are B<relative> by default,
45657e91 50but can be forced to be absolute (but avoid this, see below). Automatically
51puts a trailing ":" on the end of the complete path, because that's what's
52done in MacPerl's environment and helps to distinguish a file path from a
2586ba89 53directory path.
54
45657e91 55B<IMPORTANT NOTE:> Beginning with version 1.3 of this module, the resulting
3c4b39be 56path is relative by default and I<not> absolute. This decision was made due
45657e91 57to portability reasons. Since C<File::Spec-E<gt>catdir()> returns relative paths
58on all other operating systems, it will now also follow this convention on Mac
2586ba89 59OS. Note that this may break some existing scripts.
be708cc0 60
61The intended purpose of this routine is to concatenate I<directory names>.
62But because of the nature of Macintosh paths, some additional possibilities
63are allowed to make using this routine give reasonable results for some
64common situations. In other words, you are also allowed to concatenate
65I<paths> instead of directory names (strictly speaking, a string like ":a"
66is a path, but not a name, since it contains a punctuation character ":").
67
be708cc0 68So, beside calls like
69
2586ba89 70 catdir("a") = ":a:"
71 catdir("a","b") = ":a:b:"
72 catdir() = "" (special case)
be708cc0 73
74calls like the following
270d1e39 75
2586ba89 76 catdir(":a:") = ":a:"
77 catdir(":a","b") = ":a:b:"
78 catdir(":a:","b") = ":a:b:"
79 catdir(":a:",":b:") = ":a:b:"
80 catdir(":") = ":"
270d1e39 81
be708cc0 82are allowed.
270d1e39 83
5813de03 84Here are the rules that are used in C<catdir()>; note that we try to be as
85compatible as possible to Unix:
2586ba89 86
87=over 2
88
2586ba89 89=item 1.
2586ba89 90
5813de03 91The resulting path is relative by default, i.e. the resulting path will have a
92leading colon.
2586ba89 93
94=item 2.
2586ba89 95
5813de03 96A trailing colon is added automatically to the resulting path, to denote a
97directory.
2586ba89 98
99=item 3.
2586ba89 100
5813de03 101Generally, each argument has one leading ":" and one trailing ":"
102removed (if any). They are then joined together by a ":". Special
103treatment applies for arguments denoting updir paths like "::lib:",
104see (4), or arguments consisting solely of colons ("colon paths"),
105see (5).
270d1e39 106
2586ba89 107=item 4.
5813de03 108
109When an updir path like ":::lib::" is passed as argument, the number
110of directories to climb up is handled correctly, not removing leading
111or trailing colons when necessary. E.g.
270d1e39 112
2586ba89 113 catdir(":::a","::b","c") = ":::a::b:c:"
114 catdir(":::a::","::b","c") = ":::a:::b:c:"
270d1e39 115
2586ba89 116=item 5.
5813de03 117
118Adding a colon ":" or empty string "" to a path at I<any> position
119doesn't alter the path, i.e. these arguments are ignored. (When a ""
120is passed as the first argument, it has a special meaning, see
121(6)). This way, a colon ":" is handled like a "." (curdir) on Unix,
122while an empty string "" is generally ignored (see
123C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). Likewise, a "::" is handled like a ".."
124(updir), and a ":::" is handled like a "../.." etc. E.g.
270d1e39 125
2586ba89 126 catdir("a",":",":","b") = ":a:b:"
127 catdir("a",":","::",":b") = ":a::b:"
128
2586ba89 129=item 6.
5813de03 130
131If the first argument is an empty string "" or is a volume name, i.e. matches
132the pattern /^[^:]+:/, the resulting path is B<absolute>.
2586ba89 133
134=item 7.
5813de03 135
136Passing an empty string "" as the first argument to C<catdir()> is
137like passingC<File::Spec-E<gt>rootdir()> as the first argument, i.e.
2586ba89 138
139 catdir("","a","b") is the same as
140
45657e91 141 catdir(rootdir(),"a","b").
2586ba89 142
5813de03 143This is true on Unix, where C<catdir("","a","b")> yields "/a/b" and
144C<rootdir()> is "/". Note that C<rootdir()> on Mac OS is the startup
145volume, which is the closest in concept to Unix' "/". This should help
146to run existing scripts originally written for Unix.
2586ba89 147
148=item 8.
5813de03 149
150For absolute paths, some cleanup is done, to ensure that the volume
151name isn't immediately followed by updirs. This is invalid, because
152this would go beyond "root". Generally, these cases are handled like
153their Unix counterparts:
2586ba89 154
155 Unix:
156 Unix->catdir("","") = "/"
157 Unix->catdir("",".") = "/"
158 Unix->catdir("","..") = "/" # can't go beyond root
159 Unix->catdir("",".","..","..","a") = "/a"
160 Mac:
161 Mac->catdir("","") = rootdir() # (e.g. "HD:")
162 Mac->catdir("",":") = rootdir()
163 Mac->catdir("","::") = rootdir() # can't go beyond root
164 Mac->catdir("",":","::","::","a") = rootdir() . "a:" # (e.g. "HD:a:")
165
5813de03 166However, this approach is limited to the first arguments following
167"root" (again, see C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). If there are more
168arguments that move up the directory tree, an invalid path going
169beyond root can be created.
2586ba89 170
171=back
172
5813de03 173As you've seen, you can force C<catdir()> to create an absolute path
174by passing either an empty string or a path that begins with a volume
175name as the first argument. However, you are strongly encouraged not
176to do so, since this is done only for backward compatibility. Newer
177versions of File::Spec come with a method called C<catpath()> (see
178below), that is designed to offer a portable solution for the creation
179of absolute paths. It takes volume, directory and file portions and
180returns an entire path. While C<catdir()> is still suitable for the
181concatenation of I<directory names>, you are encouraged to use
182C<catpath()> to concatenate I<volume names> and I<directory
183paths>. E.g.
2586ba89 184
185 $dir = File::Spec->catdir("tmp","sources");
186 $abs_path = File::Spec->catpath("MacintoshHD:", $dir,"");
270d1e39 187
be708cc0 188yields
270d1e39 189
2586ba89 190 "MacintoshHD:tmp:sources:" .

266
267=item catfile
268
269Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
45657e91 270complete path ending with a filename. Resulting paths are B<relative>
271by default, but can be forced to be absolute (but avoid this).
272
273B<IMPORTANT NOTE:> Beginning with version 1.3 of this module, the
274resulting path is relative by default and I<not> absolute. This
3c4b39be 275decision was made due to portability reasons. Since
45657e91 276C<File::Spec-E<gt>catfile()> returns relative paths on all other
277operating systems, it will now also follow this convention on Mac OS.
2586ba89 278Note that this may break some existing scripts.
279
45657e91 280The last argument is always considered to be the file portion. Since
281C<catfile()> uses C<catdir()> (see above) for the concatenation of the
282directory portions (if any), the following with regard to relative and
2586ba89 283absolute paths is true:
284
285 catfile("") = ""
45657e91 286 catfile("file") = "file"
2586ba89 287
288but
289
290 catfile("","") = rootdir() # (e.g. "HD:")
291 catfile("","file") = rootdir() . file # (e.g. "HD:file")
292 catfile("HD:","file") = "HD:file"
270d1e39 293
45657e91 294This means that C<catdir()> is called only when there are two or more
2586ba89 295arguments, as one might expect.
270d1e39 296
2586ba89 297Note that the leading ":" is removed from the filename, so that
270d1e39 298
2586ba89 299 catfile("a","b","file") = ":a:b:file" and
270d1e39 300
2586ba89 301 catfile("a","b",":file") = ":a:b:file"
302
45657e91 303give the same answer.
2586ba89 304
45657e91 305To concatenate I<volume names>, I<directory paths> and I<filenames>,
2586ba89 306you are encouraged to use C<catpath()> (see below).

337 return "Dev:Null";
270d1e39 338}
339
340=item rootdir
341
342Returns a string representing the root directory. Under MacPerl,
343returns the name of the startup volume, since that's the closest in
be708cc0 344concept, although other volumes aren't rooted there. The name has a
345trailing ":", because that's the correct specification for a volume
346name on Mac OS.

362}
363
364=item tmpdir
365
07824bd1 366Returns the contents of $ENV{TMPDIR}, if that directory exits or the
367current working directory otherwise. Under MacPerl, $ENV{TMPDIR} will
368contain a path like "MacintoshHD:Temporary Items:", which is a hidden
369directory on your startup volume.

270d1e39 377}
378
379=item updir
380
be708cc0 381Returns a string representing the parent directory. On Mac OS, this is "::".

383=cut
384
385sub updir {
386 return "::";
387}
388
389=item file_name_is_absolute
390
be708cc0 391Takes as argument a path and returns true, if it is an absolute path.
2586ba89 392If the path has a leading ":", it's a relative path. Otherwise, it's an
be708cc0 393absolute path, unless the path doesn't contain any colons, i.e. it's a name
394like "a". In this particular case, the path is considered to be relative
395(i.e. it is considered to be a filename). Use ":" in the appropriate place
396in the path if you want to distinguish unambiguously. As a special case,
45657e91 397the filename '' is always considered to be absolute. Note that with version
3981.2 of File::Spec::Mac, this does no longer consult the local filesystem.
be708cc0 399
400E.g.
401
402 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute("a"); # false (relative)
403 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute(":a:b:"); # false (relative)
404 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute("MacintoshHD:"); # true (absolute)
405 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute(""); # true (absolute)

270d1e39 418 }
419}
420
421=item path
422
be708cc0 423Returns the null list for the MacPerl application, since the concept is
2586ba89 424usually meaningless under Mac OS. But if you're using the MacPerl tool under
be708cc0 425MPW, it gives back $ENV{Commands} suitably split, as is done in
270d1e39 426:lib:ExtUtils:MM_Mac.pm.

429
430sub path {
431#
432# The concept is meaningless under the MacPerl application.
433# Under MPW, it has a meaning.

442 ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file );
443
40d020d9 444Splits a path into volume, directory, and filename portions.
be708cc0 445
446On Mac OS, assumes that the last part of the path is a filename unless
447$no_file is true or a trailing separator ":" is present.
448
449The volume portion is always returned with a trailing ":". The directory portion
450is always returned with a leading (to denote a relative path) and a trailing ":"
451(to denote a directory). The file portion is always returned I<without> a leading ":".
2586ba89 452Empty portions are returned as empty string ''.
be708cc0 453
2586ba89 454The results can be passed to C<catpath()> to get back a path equivalent to
be708cc0 455(usually identical to) the original path.

494
2586ba89 495The opposite of C<catdir()>.
be708cc0 496
497 @dirs = File::Spec->splitdir( $directories );
498
2586ba89 499$directories should be only the directory portion of the path on systems
be708cc0 500that have the concept of a volume or that have path syntax that differentiates
2586ba89 501files from directories. Consider using C<splitpath()> otherwise.
be708cc0 502
503Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator, empty directory names
504(C<"">) can be returned. Since C<catdir()> on Mac OS always appends a trailing
505colon to distinguish a directory path from a file path, a single trailing colon
506will be ignored, i.e. there's no empty directory name after it.
507
508Hence, on Mac OS, both
509
510 File::Spec->splitdir( ":a:b::c:" ); and
511 File::Spec->splitdir( ":a:b::c" );
512
513yield:
514
2586ba89 515 ( "a", "b", "::", "c")
be708cc0 516
517while
518
519 File::Spec->splitdir( ":a:b::c::" );
520
521yields:
522

567
568Takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an entire path. On Mac OS,
569$volume, $directory and $file are concatenated. A ':' is inserted if need be. You
570may pass an empty string for each portion. If all portions are empty, the empty
571string is returned. If $volume is empty, the result will be a relative path,
572beginning with a ':'. If $volume and $directory are empty, a leading ":" (if any)
573is removed form $file and the remainder is returned. If $file is empty, the
574resulting path will have a trailing ':'.

610=item abs2rel
611
be708cc0 612Takes a destination path and an optional base path and returns a relative path
613from the base path to the destination path:
614
615 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path ) ;
616 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path, $base ) ;
617
618Note that both paths are assumed to have a notation that distinguishes a
619directory path (with trailing ':') from a file path (without trailing ':').
620
621If $base is not present or '', then the current working directory is used.
622If $base is relative, then it is converted to absolute form using C<rel2abs()>.
623This means that it is taken to be relative to the current working directory.
624
638113eb 625If $path and $base appear to be on two different volumes, we will not
626attempt to resolve the two paths, and we will instead simply return
627$path. Note that previous versions of this module ignored the volume
628of $base, which resulted in garbage results part of the time.
be708cc0 629
630If $base doesn't have a trailing colon, the last element of $base is
638113eb 631assumed to be a filename. This filename is ignored. Otherwise all path
be708cc0 632components are assumed to be directories.
633
634If $path is relative, it is converted to absolute form using C<rel2abs()>.
635This means that it is taken to be relative to the current working directory.
