Description

# Opaque implementation for FilePath

The underlying type of a FilePath is a `ByteArray`. It is indeed like this because for some systems (Unix systems) a `FilePath` is a null terminated array of bytes.

# FilePath and FileName for type checking validation

In order to add some constraint at compile time, it is not possible to append (`</>`) a `FilePath` to another `FilePath`. You can only append (`</>`) a `FileName` to a given `FilePath`.

Synopsis

- data FilePath
- data Relativity
  - = Absolute
  - | Relative
- data FileName
- filePathToString :: FilePath -> String
- filePathToLString :: FilePath -> [Char]
- unsafeFilePath :: Relativity -> [FileName] -> FilePath
- unsafeFileName :: UArray Word8 -> FileName
- extension :: FileName -> Maybe FileName

# Documentation

data FilePath #

FilePath is a collection of FileName

TODO: Eq and Ord are implemented using Show This is not very efficient and would need to be improved Also, it is possible the ordering is not necessary what we want in this case.

A FilePath is one of the following:

- An Absolute:
- starts with one of the follwing "/"
- A relative:
- don't start with a "/"
- authorised:
- "/"
- "filepath"
- "."
- ".."
- "workhaskellhs-foundation"
- unauthorised
- "path//"

# conversion

filePathToString :: FilePath -> String #

filePathToLString :: FilePath -> [Char] #

conversion of a FilePath into a list of Char

this function may throw exceptions

## unsafe

unsafeFilePath :: Relativity -> [FileName] -> FilePath #

build a file path from a given list of filename

this is unsafe and is mainly needed for testing purpose

unsafeFileName :: UArray Word8 -> FileName #

build a file name from a given ByteArray

this is unsafe and is mainly needed for testing purpose

extension :: FileName -> Maybe FileName #
