If this character is repeated, it is treated as a single directory separator: /usr ///////lib is the same as /usr /libĪ path can be normalized by following this algorithm: directory-separators: the forward slash character / or the alternative character provided as path::preferred_separator.is a directory name that refers to the parent directory. dot-dot: the file name consisting of two dot characters.is a directory name that refers to the current directory dot: the file name consisting of a single dot character.

This name may identify a file, a hard link, a symbolic link, or a directory. file-name: sequence of characters that aren't directory separators or preferred directory separators (additional limitations may be imposed by the OS or file system).If it is missing (and the first element other than the root name is a file name), then the path is relative and requires another path as the starting location to resolve to a file name. root-directory (optional): a directory separator that, if present, marks this path as absolute.The standard library may define additional root-names besides the ones understood by the OS API. In case of ambiguity, the longest sequence of characters that forms a valid root-name is treated as the root-name. root-name (optional): identifies the root on a filesystem with multiple roots (such as 'C:' or '//myserver').Only syntactic aspects of paths are handled: the pathname may represent a non-existing path or even one that is not allowed to exist on the current file system or OS. Objects of type path represent paths on a filesystem.
