FilePath Hackage version Build Status

The filepath package provides functionality for manipulating FilePath values, and is shipped with both GHC and the Haskell Platform. It provides three modules:

  • System.FilePath.Posix manipulates POSIX/Linux style FilePath values (with / as the path separator).
  • System.FilePath.Windows manipulates Windows style FilePath values (with either \ or / as the path separator, and deals with drives).
  • System.FilePath is an alias for the module appropriate to your platform.

All three modules provide the same API, and the same documentation (calling out differences in the different variants).

Changes

Changelog for filepath package

Note: below all FilePath values are unquoted, so \\ really means two backslashes.
