canonicalize
Description:
[ Version ( since = "2.58" ) ]
[ CCode ( cname = "g_canonicalize_filename" ) ]
public string canonicalize (string filename, string? relative_to = null)
[ CCode ( cname = "g_canonicalize_filename" ) ]
public string canonicalize (string filename, string? relative_to = null)
Gets the canonical file name from filename.
All triple slashes are turned into single slashes, and all `..` and `.`s resolved against relative_to.
Symlinks are not followed, and the returned path is guaranteed to be absolute.
If filename is an absolute path, relative_to is ignored. Otherwise, relative_to will be prepended to
filename to make it absolute. relative_to must be an absolute path, or null. If
relative_to is null, it'll fallback to
get_current_dir.
This function never fails, and will canonicalize file paths even if they don't exist.
No file system I/O is done.
Parameters:
| filename |
the name of the file |
| relative_to |
the relative directory, or null to use the current working directory |
Returns:
|
a newly allocated string with the canonical file path |
