Member Typedef Documentation

◆ value_type

typedef std::string nom::Path::value_type

Platform-dependent data typedef used for defining the preferred file path separator.

See also: ::init.

Definition at line 48 of file Path.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Path()

nom::Path::Path ( const std::string & p )

Construct a complete object.

Parameters

p	The relative or absolute path to a file or directory.

Member Function Documentation

◆ native()

const value_type & nom::Path::native ( void ) const

Obtain native path (directory) separator; the value returned is dependent upon the platform and is determined at compile-time, not run-time.

◆ prepend()

std::string nom::Path::prepend ( const std::string & path ) const

Add the set object's file path to the beginning of a file path.

Returns: If the set file path does not end with a backslash character, one is appended beforehand, otherwise the object's file path is appended to the specified file path.

Todo: Rename to append.
