std.path

File path manipulation utilities. Pure string operations – no filesystem access.

import std.path

Functions

join

path.join(base: string, rel: string) string

Joins two path segments with /.

path.join("/home", "user")    // "/home/user"
path.join("/home/", "user")   // "/home/user"

basename

path.basename(p: string) string

Returns the last component of the path.

path.basename("/home/user/file.txt")  // "file.txt"

dirname

path.dirname(p: string) string

Returns the directory portion of the path.

path.dirname("/home/user/file.txt")  // "/home/user"

ext

path.ext(p: string) string

Returns the file extension including the dot, or empty string if none.

path.ext("file.txt")     // ".txt"
path.ext("Makefile")     // ""

split_ext

path.split_ext(p: string) string

Returns the filename without the extension.

path.split_ext("file.txt")  // "file"

is_absolute

path.is_absolute(p: string) bool

Returns true if the path starts with /.

has_trailing_slash

path.has_trailing_slash(p: string) bool

Returns true if the path ends with /.

normalize

path.normalize(p: string) string

Normalizes a path by resolving . and .. components and removing duplicate slashes.

Example

import std.path

fn main() {
    let p = "/home/user/documents/report.pdf"
    print(f"Dir: {path.dirname(p)}")
    print(f"File: {path.basename(p)}")
    print(f"Ext: {path.ext(p)}")
}
