os.Path.fullPath

Returns the canonical equivalent of a path.

Syntax

os.Path.fullPath(
   path STRING)
  RETURNS STRING
  1. path is the path to complete.

Usage

The os.path.fullPath() class method takes a path as parameter and resolves extra path separator characters (/ on UNIX™, \ on Windows®), as well as references to current (.) and parent directory (..). The result is called a canonical path.

On UNIX, symbolic links are not followed. Use the os.Path.isLink() method to identify symbolic links.

Example

DISPLAY os.Path.fullPath("/home/usr//scott/tmp/../images")

Resolves to:

/home/usr/scott/images
