filepath

Description

The filepath library contains procedures for cross-platform parsing and manipulation of file paths. It supports both Windows and POSIX paths, including Windows share paths.

Library Procedures

Platform Flags

filepath:posix #!optional BOOLprocedure: If invoked without arguments, this procedure returns whether the library procedures assume POSIX-style paths or not. Invoking the procedure with a boolean argument disables or enables POSIX-style paths. If set to false, the library procedures assume Windows-style paths.

filepath:is-windows?procedure: Convenience function that returns the inverse of (filepath:posix).

filepath:is-posix?procedure: Convenience function that returns the result of (filepath:posix).

Path Separators

filepath:path-separatorprocedure: The character that separates directories. On platforms where more than one character is possible, this procedure returns the default one.

filepath:path-separator-setprocedure: The set of all possible path separator characters.

filepath:is-path-separator? CHARprocedure: A predicate that returns whether the given character is a path separator for the current platform.

filepath:search-path-separatorprocedure: The character that is used to separate the entries in the PATH environment variable.

filepath:is-search-path-separator? CHARprocedure: A predicate that returns whether the given character can be used a separator in the PATH environment variable.

filepath:ext-separatorprocedure: The character that is used to separate file extensions.

filepath:is-ext-separator? CHARprocedure: A predicate that returns whether the given character is a file extension separator.

Search Path

filepath:split-search-path STRINGprocedure: Splits a string on the search path separator character.

filepath:get-search-pathprocedure: Returns search path from the OS environment.

Extension procedures

filepath:split-extension PATHprocedure: Splits path on the last extension.

filepath:take-extension PATHprocedure: Returns last extension of given path, or empty string.

filepath:replace-extension PATH EXTprocedure: Replaces the last path extension with the given extension.

filepath:drop-extension PATHprocedure: Removes last extension and extension separator preceding it.

filepath:add-extension PATH EXTprocedure: Appends an extension to the given path.

filepath:has-extension? PATHprocedure: Returns true if the given path has an extension.

filepath:split-all-extensions PATHprocedure: Splits path on the first extension.

filepath:drop-all-extensions PATHprocedure: Removes all extensions from the path.

filepath:take-all-extensions PATHprocedure: Returns all extensions from the path.

Drive procedures

filepath:split-driveprocedure: Splits a path into a Windows drive and a path. When in POSIX mode, / is treated as a drive.

filepath:join-drive DRIVE PATHprocedure: Joins a drive and the rest of the path.

filepath:take-drive PATHprocedure: Returns the drive of a path.

filepath:has-drive? PATHprocedure: Returns whether the given path has a drive.

filepath:drop-drive PATHprocedure: Removes the drive from the given path.

filepath:is-drive? STRINGprocedure: Returns true if the given string is a drive specification.

Operations on a file path

filepath:split-file-name PATHprocedure: Splits a path into directory and file.

filepath:take-file-name PATHprocedure: Returns the filename component of a path.

filepath:replace-file-name PATH FILEprocedure: Replaces the filename component of a path with the given one.

filepath:drop-file-name PATHprocedure: Removes the filename component of a path.

filepath:take-base-name PATHprocedure: Returns the base file name (no extension) of a path.

filepath:replace-base-name PATH BASEprocedure: Replaces the base file name of a path with the given one.

filepath:take-directory PATHprocedure: Returns the directory component of a path.

filepath:replace-directory PATH DIRprocedure: Replaces the directory component of a path with the given one.

filepath:combine PATH1 PATH2procedure: Combines two paths. If the second path is absolute, then it returns the second.

filepath:split-path PATHprocedure: Splits a path by the directory separator.

filepath:join-path LISTprocedure: Joins path elements back together.

filepath:split-directoriesprocedure: As split-path, but does not add trailing separators to each element.

Trailing Separators

filepath:has-trailing-path-separator? PATHprocedure

filepath:add-trailing-path-separator PATHprocedure

filepath:drop-trailing-path-separator PATHprocedure

File Name Normalization and Predicates

filepath:normalise PATHprocedure

filepath:path-equal? PATH1 PATH2procedure

filepath:make-relative ROOT PATHprocedure

filepath:is-relative? PATHprocedure

filepath:is-absolute? PATHprocedure

filepath:is-valid? PATHprocedure

filepath:make-valid PATHprocedure
