Objects of the class tt(filesysten::path)hi(path) hold names of file
system entries. The class tt(path) is a value class: a default
constructor (empty path) as well as standard copy/move construction/assignment
facilities are available. In addition, the following constructors can be used:
itemization(
itt(path(string &&tmp));
itt(path(Type const &source)):nl()
any acceptable type that provides the characters of the path (e.g.,
tt(source) is a NTBS);
itt(path(InputIter begin, InputIter end)):nl()
the characters from tt(begin) to tt(end) define the tt(path's) name.
)
A thus constructed tt(path) doesn't have to refer to an existing file
system entry.
Path constructors expect character sequences (including NTBSs) that may
consist of various (all optional) elements:
itemization(
it() a root-name, e.g., a disk-name (like tt(E:)) or device indicator
(like tt(//nfs));
it() a root-directory, present if it is the first character after
the (optional) root-name;
it() filename characters (not containing directory separators). In
addition the `single dot filename' (tt(.)) represents the current
directory and the `double dot filename' (tt(..)) represents the
current directory's parent directory;
it() directory separators (by default the forward slash). Multiple
consecutive separators are automatically merged into one separator.
)
The constructors also define a last tt(format ftmp = auto_format)
parameter, for which in practice almost never an argument has to be provided
(for its details see url(cppreference)
(http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/experimental/fs/path).)
Many functions expect tt(path) arguments which can usually be created from
NTBSs or tt(std::string) objects as tt(path) allows promotions (cf. section
ref(EXPLICIT)). E.g., the filesystem function tt(absolute) expects a tt(const
&path) argument. It can be called like this: tt(absolute("tmp/filename")).
