      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 // Paths can't contain NULs as a precaution agaist premature truncation.
     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.
