File::Spec::Unix(3)

 NAME

     File::Spec::Unix - methods used by File::Spec

 SYNOPSIS

     require File::Spec::Unix;

 DESCRIPTION

     Methods for manipulating file specifications.

 METHODS

     canonpath
       No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a path.
       On UNIX eliminated successive slashes and successive "/.".

     catdir
       Concatenate two or more directory names to form a complete path ending
       with a directory. But remove the trailing slash from the resulting
       string, because it doesn't look good, isn't necessary and confuses OS2.
       Of course, if this is the root directory, don't cut off the trailing
       slash :-)

     catfile
       Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
       complete path ending with a filename

     curdir
       Returns a string representing of the current directory.  "." on UNIX.

     rootdir
       Returns a string representing of the root directory.  "/" on UNIX.

     updir
       Returns a string representing of the parent directory.  ".." on UNIX.

     no_upwards
       Given a list of file names, strip out those that refer to a parent
       directory. (Does not strip symlinks, only '.', '..', and equivalents.)

     file_name_is_absolute
       Takes as argument a path and returns true, if it is an absolute path.

     path
       Takes no argument, returns the environment variable PATH as an array.

     join
       join is the same as catfile.

     nativename
       TBW.
