Documentation
File and directory names are values of type String
, whose precise
meaning is operating system dependent. Files can be opened, yielding a
handle which can then be used to operate on the contents of that file.
The character that is used to separate the entries in the $PATH environment variable.
Windows: searchPathSeparator == ';' Posix: searchPathSeparator == ':'
normalise :: FilePath -> FilePath #
Normalise a file
- // outside of the drive can be made blank
- / ->
pathSeparator
- ./ -> ""
Does not remove ".."
, because of symlinks.
Posix: normalise "/file/\\test////" == "/file/\\test/" Posix: normalise "/file/./test" == "/file/test" Posix: normalise "/test/file/../bob/fred/" == "/test/file/../bob/fred/" Posix: normalise "../bob/fred/" == "../bob/fred/" Posix: normalise "/a/../c" == "/a/../c" Posix: normalise "./bob/fred/" == "bob/fred/" Windows: normalise "c:\\file/bob\\" == "C:\\file\\bob\\" Windows: normalise "c:\\" == "C:\\" Windows: normalise "c:\\\\\\\\" == "C:\\" Windows: normalise "C:.\\" == "C:" Windows: normalise "\\\\server\\test" == "\\\\server\\test" Windows: normalise "//server/test" == "\\\\server\\test" Windows: normalise "c:/file" == "C:\\file" Windows: normalise "/file" == "\\file" Windows: normalise "\\" == "\\" Windows: normalise "/./" == "\\" normalise "." == "." Posix: normalise "./" == "./" Posix: normalise "./." == "./" Posix: normalise "/./" == "/" Posix: normalise "/" == "/" Posix: normalise "bob/fred/." == "bob/fred/" Posix: normalise "//home" == "/home"
dropTrailingPathSeparator :: FilePath -> FilePath #
Remove any trailing path separators
dropTrailingPathSeparator "file/test/" == "file/test" dropTrailingPathSeparator "/" == "/" Windows: dropTrailingPathSeparator "\\" == "\\" Posix: not (hasTrailingPathSeparator (dropTrailingPathSeparator x)) || isDrive x
makeRelative :: FilePath -> FilePath -> FilePath #
Contract a filename, based on a relative path. Note that the resulting path
will never introduce ..
paths, as the presence of symlinks means ../b
may not reach a/b
if it starts from a/c
. For a worked example see
this blog post.
The corresponding makeAbsolute
function can be found in
System.Directory
.
makeRelative "/directory" "/directory/file.ext" == "file.ext" Valid x => makeRelative (takeDirectory x) x `equalFilePath` takeFileName x makeRelative x x == "." Valid x y => equalFilePath x y || (isRelative x && makeRelative y x == x) || equalFilePath (y </> makeRelative y x) x Windows: makeRelative "C:\\Home" "c:\\home\\bob" == "bob" Windows: makeRelative "C:\\Home" "c:/home/bob" == "bob" Windows: makeRelative "C:\\Home" "D:\\Home\\Bob" == "D:\\Home\\Bob" Windows: makeRelative "C:\\Home" "C:Home\\Bob" == "C:Home\\Bob" Windows: makeRelative "/Home" "/home/bob" == "bob" Windows: makeRelative "/" "//" == "//" Posix: makeRelative "/Home" "/home/bob" == "/home/bob" Posix: makeRelative "/home/" "/home/bob/foo/bar" == "bob/foo/bar" Posix: makeRelative "/fred" "bob" == "bob" Posix: makeRelative "/file/test" "/file/test/fred" == "fred" Posix: makeRelative "/file/test" "/file/test/fred/" == "fred/" Posix: makeRelative "some/path" "some/path/a/b/c" == "a/b/c"
(</>) :: FilePath -> FilePath -> FilePath infixr 5 #
Combine two paths with a path separator.
If the second path starts with a path separator or a drive letter, then it returns the second.
The intention is that readFile (dir
will access the same file as
</>
file)setCurrentDirectory dir; readFile file
.
Posix: "/directory" </> "file.ext" == "/directory/file.ext" Windows: "/directory" </> "file.ext" == "/directory\\file.ext" "directory" </> "/file.ext" == "/file.ext" Valid x => (takeDirectory x </> takeFileName x) `equalFilePath` x
Combined:
Posix: "/" </> "test" == "/test" Posix: "home" </> "bob" == "home/bob" Posix: "x:" </> "foo" == "x:/foo" Windows: "C:\\foo" </> "bar" == "C:\\foo\\bar" Windows: "home" </> "bob" == "home\\bob"
Not combined:
Posix: "home" </> "/bob" == "/bob" Windows: "home" </> "C:\\bob" == "C:\\bob"
Not combined (tricky):
On Windows, if a filepath starts with a single slash, it is relative to the
root of the current drive. In [1], this is (confusingly) referred to as an
absolute path.
The current behavior of </>
is to never combine these forms.
Windows: "home" </> "/bob" == "/bob" Windows: "home" </> "\\bob" == "\\bob" Windows: "C:\\home" </> "\\bob" == "\\bob"
On Windows, from [1]: "If a file name begins with only a disk designator
but not the backslash after the colon, it is interpreted as a relative path
to the current directory on the drive with the specified letter."
The current behavior of </>
is to never combine these forms.
Windows: "D:\\foo" </> "C:bar" == "C:bar" Windows: "C:\\foo" </> "C:bar" == "C:bar"
pathSeparator :: Char #
The character that separates directories. In the case where more than
one character is possible, pathSeparator
is the 'ideal' one.
Windows: pathSeparator == '\\' Posix: pathSeparator == '/' isPathSeparator pathSeparator
pathSeparators :: [Char] #
The list of all possible separators.
Windows: pathSeparators == ['\\', '/'] Posix: pathSeparators == ['/'] pathSeparator `elem` pathSeparators
isPathSeparator :: Char -> Bool #
Rather than using (==
, use this. Test if something
is a path separator.pathSeparator
)
isPathSeparator a == (a `elem` pathSeparators)
isSearchPathSeparator :: Char -> Bool #
Is the character a file separator?
isSearchPathSeparator a == (a == searchPathSeparator)

File extension character

isExtSeparator :: Char -> Bool #
Is the character an extension character?
isExtSeparator a == (a == extSeparator)
splitSearchPath :: String -> [FilePath] #
Take a string, split it on the searchPathSeparator
character.
Blank items are ignored on Windows, and converted to .
on Posix.
On Windows path elements are stripped of quotes.
Follows the recommendations in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html

Drop the given extension from a FilePath, and the "."
preceding it.
Returns Nothing
if the FilePath does not have the given extension, or

This function can be more predictable than dropExtensions
, especially if the filename
might itself contain .

and addExtension
both work for adding
multiple extensions, so only required when you need to drop

equalFilePath :: FilePath -> FilePath -> Bool #
Equality of two FILEPATH
s.
If you call System.Directory.canonicalizePath
first this has a much better chance of working.
Note that this doesn't follow symlinks or DOSNAM~1s.
Similar to normalise
, this does not expand ".."
, because of symlinks.

Is a FilePath valid, i.e. could you create a file like it? This function checks for invalid names, and invalid characters, but does not check if length limits are exceeded, as these are typically filesystem dependent.

According to [1]:
- "A UNC name of any format [is never relative]."
