public class PathBuf

`GPathBuf` is a helper type that allows you to easily build paths from individual elements, using the platform specific conventions for path separators.

g_auto (GPathBuf) path;

g_path_buf_init (&path);

g_path_buf_push (&path, "usr");
g_path_buf_push (&path, "bin");
g_path_buf_push (&path, "echo");

g_autofree char *echo = g_path_buf_to_path (&path);
g_assert_cmpstr (echo, ==, "/usr/bin/echo");

You can also load a full path and then operate on its components:

g_auto (GPathBuf) path;

g_path_buf_init_from_path (&path, "/usr/bin/echo");

g_path_buf_pop (&path);
g_path_buf_push (&path, "sh");

g_autofree char *sh = g_path_buf_to_path (&path);
g_assert_cmpstr (sh, ==, "/usr/bin/sh");

`GPathBuf` is available since GLib 2.76.
