270d1e39 48
be708cc0 49Concatenate two or more directory names to form a path separated by colons
2586ba89 50(":") ending with a directory. Resulting paths are B<relative> by default,
45657e91
JH
51but can be forced to be absolute (but avoid this, see below). Automatically
52puts a trailing ":" on the end of the complete path, because that's what's
53done in MacPerl's environment and helps to distinguish a file path from a
2586ba89
JH
54directory path.
55
45657e91 56B<IMPORTANT NOTE:> Beginning with version 1.3 of this module, the resulting
3c4b39be 57path is relative by default and I<not> absolute. This decision was made due
45657e91
JH
58to portability reasons. Since C<File::Spec-E<gt>catdir()> returns relative paths
59on all other operating systems, it will now also follow this convention on Mac
2586ba89 60OS. Note that this may break some existing scripts.
be708cc0
JH
61
62The intended purpose of this routine is to concatenate I<directory names>.
63But because of the nature of Macintosh paths, some additional possibilities
64are allowed to make using this routine give reasonable results for some
65common situations. In other words, you are also allowed to concatenate
66I<paths> instead of directory names (strictly speaking, a string like ":a"
67is a path, but not a name, since it contains a punctuation character ":").
68
be708cc0
JH
69So, beside calls like
70
2586ba89
JH
71 catdir("a") = ":a:"
72 catdir("a","b") = ":a:b:"
73 catdir() = "" (special case)
be708cc0
JH
74
75calls like the following
270d1e39 76
2586ba89
JH
77 catdir(":a:") = ":a:"
78 catdir(":a","b") = ":a:b:"
79 catdir(":a:","b") = ":a:b:"
80 catdir(":a:",":b:") = ":a:b:"
81 catdir(":") = ":"
270d1e39 82
be708cc0 83are allowed.
270d1e39 84
5813de03
JH
85Here are the rules that are used in C<catdir()>; note that we try to be as
86compatible as possible to Unix:
2586ba89
JH
87
88=over 2
89
2586ba89 90=item 1.
2586ba89 91
5813de03
JH
92The resulting path is relative by default, i.e. the resulting path will have a
93leading colon.
2586ba89
JH
94
95=item 2.
2586ba89 96
5813de03
JH
97A trailing colon is added automatically to the resulting path, to denote a
98directory.
2586ba89
JH
99
100=item 3.
2586ba89 101
5813de03
JH
102Generally, each argument has one leading ":" and one trailing ":"
103removed (if any). They are then joined together by a ":". Special
104treatment applies for arguments denoting updir paths like "::lib:",
105see (4), or arguments consisting solely of colons ("colon paths"),
106see (5).
270d1e39 107
2586ba89 108=item 4.
5813de03
JH
109
110When an updir path like ":::lib::" is passed as argument, the number
111of directories to climb up is handled correctly, not removing leading
112or trailing colons when necessary. E.g.
270d1e39 113
2586ba89
JH
114 catdir(":::a","::b","c") = ":::a::b:c:"
115 catdir(":::a::","::b","c") = ":::a:::b:c:"
270d1e39 116
2586ba89 117=item 5.
5813de03
JH
118
119Adding a colon ":" or empty string "" to a path at I<any> position
120doesn't alter the path, i.e. these arguments are ignored. (When a ""
121is passed as the first argument, it has a special meaning, see
122(6)). This way, a colon ":" is handled like a "." (curdir) on Unix,
123while an empty string "" is generally ignored (see
124C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). Likewise, a "::" is handled like a ".."
125(updir), and a ":::" is handled like a "../.." etc. E.g.
270d1e39 126
2586ba89
JH
127 catdir("a",":",":","b") = ":a:b:"
128 catdir("a",":","::",":b") = ":a::b:"
129
2586ba89 130=item 6.
5813de03
JH
131
132If the first argument is an empty string "" or is a volume name, i.e. matches
133the pattern /^[^:]+:/, the resulting path is B<absolute>.
2586ba89
JH
134
135=item 7.
5813de03
JH
136
137Passing an empty string "" as the first argument to C<catdir()> is
138like passingC<File::Spec-E<gt>rootdir()> as the first argument, i.e.
2586ba89
JH
139
140 catdir("","a","b") is the same as
141
45657e91 142 catdir(rootdir(),"a","b").
2586ba89 143
5813de03
JH
144This is true on Unix, where C<catdir("","a","b")> yields "/a/b" and
145C<rootdir()> is "/". Note that C<rootdir()> on Mac OS is the startup
146volume, which is the closest in concept to Unix' "/". This should help
147to run existing scripts originally written for Unix.
2586ba89
JH
148
149=item 8.
5813de03
JH
150
151For absolute paths, some cleanup is done, to ensure that the volume
152name isn't immediately followed by updirs. This is invalid, because
153this would go beyond "root". Generally, these cases are handled like
154their Unix counterparts:
2586ba89
JH
155
156 Unix:
157 Unix->catdir("","") = "/"
158 Unix->catdir("",".") = "/"
7302ea77
FC
159 Unix->catdir("","..") = "/" # can't go
160 # beyond root
2586ba89
JH
161 Unix->catdir("",".","..","..","a") = "/a"
162 Mac:
7302ea77 163 Mac->catdir("","") = rootdir() # (e.g. "HD:")
2586ba89 164 Mac->catdir("",":") = rootdir()
7302ea77
FC
165 Mac->catdir("","::") = rootdir() # can't go
166 # beyond root
167 Mac->catdir("",":","::","::","a") = rootdir() . "a:"
168 # (e.g. "HD:a:")
2586ba89 169
5813de03
JH
170However, this approach is limited to the first arguments following
171"root" (again, see C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). If there are more
172arguments that move up the directory tree, an invalid path going
173beyond root can be created.
2586ba89
JH
174
175=back
176
5813de03
JH
177As you've seen, you can force C<catdir()> to create an absolute path
178by passing either an empty string or a path that begins with a volume
179name as the first argument. However, you are strongly encouraged not
180to do so, since this is done only for backward compatibility. Newer
181versions of File::Spec come with a method called C<catpath()> (see
182below), that is designed to offer a portable solution for the creation
183of absolute paths. It takes volume, directory and file portions and
184returns an entire path. While C<catdir()> is still suitable for the
185concatenation of I<directory names>, you are encouraged to use
186C<catpath()> to concatenate I<volume names> and I<directory
187paths>. E.g.
2586ba89
JH
188
189 $dir = File::Spec->catdir("tmp","sources");
190 $abs_path = File::Spec->catpath("MacintoshHD:", $dir,"");
270d1e39 191
be708cc0 192yields
270d1e39 193

JH
282Note that this may break some existing scripts.
283
45657e91
JH
284The last argument is always considered to be the file portion. Since
285C<catfile()> uses C<catdir()> (see above) for the concatenation of the
286directory portions (if any), the following with regard to relative and
2586ba89
JH
287absolute paths is true:
288
289 catfile("") = ""
45657e91 290 catfile("file") = "file"
2586ba89

291
292but
293
294 catfile("","") = rootdir() # (e.g. "HD:")
295 catfile("","file") = rootdir() . file # (e.g. "HD:file")
296 catfile("HD:","file") = "HD:file"
270d1e39 297
45657e91 298This means that C<catdir()> is called only when there are two or more
2586ba89 299arguments, as one might expect.
270d1e39 300
2586ba89 301Note that the leading ":" is removed from the filename, so that
270d1e39 302
2586ba89 303 catfile("a","b","file") = ":a:b:file" and

397absolute path, unless the path doesn't contain any colons, i.e. it's a name
398like "a". In this particular case, the path is considered to be relative
399(i.e. it is considered to be a filename). Use ":" in the appropriate place
400in the path if you want to distinguish unambiguously. As a special case,
45657e91

2586ba89 505$directories should be only the directory portion of the path on systems
be708cc0 506that have the concept of a volume or that have path syntax that differentiates
2586ba89 507files from directories. Consider using C<splitpath()> otherwise.
be708cc0
JH
508
509Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator, empty directory names
510(C<"">) can be returned. Since C<catdir()> on Mac OS always appends a trailing
511colon to distinguish a directory path from a file path, a single trailing colon
512will be ignored, i.e. there's no empty directory name after it.

574Takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an entire path. On Mac OS,
575$volume, $directory and $file are concatenated. A ':' is inserted if need be. You
576may pass an empty string for each portion. If all portions are empty, the empty
577string is returned. If $volume is empty, the result will be a relative path,
578beginning with a ':'. If $volume and $directory are empty, a leading ":" (if any)
579is removed form $file and the remainder is returned. If $file is empty, the
580resulting path will have a trailing ':'.

618Takes a destination path and an optional base path and returns a relative path
619from the base path to the destination path:
620
621 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path ) ;
622 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path, $base ) ;
623
624Note that both paths are assumed to have a notation that distinguishes a
625directory path (with trailing ':') from a file path (without trailing ':').
626
627If $base is not present or '', then the current working directory is used.
628If $base is relative, then it is converted to absolute form using C<rel2abs()>.
629This means that it is taken to be relative to the current working directory.

631If $path and $base appear to be on two different volumes, we will not
632attempt to resolve the two paths, and we will instead simply return
633$path. Note that previous versions of this module ignored the volume
634of $base, which resulted in garbage results part of the time.

636If $base doesn't have a trailing colon, the last element of $base is
