Path::normalize

pub fn normalize() -> Result<Path, IoError>

use path::{Path};

Removes . components, resolves .. against the component before it, and collapses repeated separators.

Purely textual: symlinks are not followed (use io::fs::realpath for that), and a .. with nothing before it is dropped. An empty result is ..

Called on a Path value as value.normalize(…).

Returns#

Result<Path, IoError>

Examples#

use path::{Path};
use tests::assert;
assert!((Path::from("a/./b//../c").normalize() ?? Path::from("")).as_str() == "a/c");
assert!((Path::from("/../x").normalize() ?? Path::from("")).as_str() == "/x");
