5 // FilePath is a container for pathnames stored in a platform's native string
6 // type, providing containers for manipulation in according with the
7 // platform's conventions for pathnames.  It supports the following path
8 // types:
9 //
10 //                   POSIX            Windows
11 //                   ---------------  ----------------------------------
12 // Fundamental type  char[]           wchar_t[]
13 // Encoding          unspecified*     UTF-16
14 // Separator         /                \, tolerant of /
15 // Drive letters     no               case-insensitive A-Z followed by :
16 // Alternate root    // (surprise!)   \\, for UNC paths
17 //
18 // * The encoding need not be specified on POSIX systems, although some
19 //   POSIX-compliant systems do specify an encoding.  Mac OS X uses UTF-8.
20 //   Chrome OS also uses UTF-8.
21 //   Linux does not specify an encoding, but in practice, the locale's
22 //   character set may be used.
23 //
24 // For more arcane bits of path trivia, see below.
25 //
26 // FilePath objects are intended to be used anywhere paths are.  An
27 // application may pass FilePath objects around internally, masking the
28 // underlying differences between systems, only differing in implementation
29 // where interfacing directly with the system.  For example, a single
30 // OpenFile(const FilePath &) function may be made available, allowing all
31 // callers to operate without regard to the underlying implementation.  On
32 // POSIX-like platforms, OpenFile might wrap fopen, and on Windows, it might
33 // wrap _wfopen_s, perhaps both by calling file_path.value().c_str().  This
34 // allows each platform to pass pathnames around without requiring conversions
35 // between encodings, which has an impact on performance, but more imporantly,
36 // has an impact on correctness on platforms that do not have well-defined
37 // encodings for pathnames.
38 //
39 // Several methods are available to perform common operations on a FilePath
40 // object, such as determining the parent directory (DirName), isolating the
41 // final path component (BaseName), and appending a relative pathname string
42 // to an existing FilePath object (Append).  These methods are highly
43 // recommended over attempting to split and concatenate strings directly.
44 // These methods are based purely on string manipulation and knowledge of
45 // platform-specific pathname conventions, and do not consult the filesystem
46 // at all, making them safe to use without fear of blocking on I/O operations.
47 // These methods do not function as mutators but instead return distinct
48 // instances of FilePath objects, and are therefore safe to use on const
49 // objects.  The objects themselves are safe to share between threads.
50 //
51 // To aid in initialization of FilePath objects from string literals, a
52 // FILE_PATH_LITERAL macro is provided, which accounts for the difference
53 // between char[]-based pathnames on POSIX systems and wchar_t[]-based
54 // pathnames on Windows.
55 //
56 // As a precaution against premature truncation, paths can't contain NULs.
57 //
58 // Because a FilePath object should not be instantiated at the global scope,
59 // instead, use a FilePath::CharType[] and initialize it with
60 // FILE_PATH_LITERAL.  At runtime, a FilePath object can be created from the
61 // character array.  Example:
62 //
63 // | const FilePath::CharType kLogFileName[] = FILE_PATH_LITERAL("log.txt");
64 // |
65 // | void Function() {
66 // |   FilePath log_file_path(kLogFileName);
67 // |   [...]
68 // | }
69 //
70 // WARNING: FilePaths should ALWAYS be displayed with LTR directionality, even
71 // when the UI language is RTL. This means you always need to pass filepaths
72 // through base::i18n::WrapPathWithLTRFormatting() before displaying it in the
73 // RTL UI.
74 //
75 // This is a very common source of bugs, please try to keep this in mind.

79 //  - A double leading slash is actually part of the POSIX standard.  Systems
80 //    are allowed to treat // as an alternate root, as Windows does for UNC
81 //    (network share) paths.  Most POSIX systems don't do anything special
82 //    with two leading slashes, but FilePath handles this case properly
83 //    in case it ever comes across such a system.  FilePath needs this support
84 //    for Windows UNC paths, anyway.

91 //  - Windows treats c:\\ the same way it treats \\.  This was intended to
92 //    allow older applications that require drive letters to support UNC paths
93 //    like \\server\share\path, by permitting c:\\server\share\path as an
94 //    equivalent.  Since the OS treats these paths specially, FilePath needs
95 //    to do the same.  Since Windows can use either / or \ as the separator,
96 //    FilePath treats c://, c:\\, //, and \\ all equivalently.
