     44      * elements then the value of the {@code first} parameter is the path string

     46      * non-empty string, including {@code first}, is considered to be a sequence
     47      * of name elements (see {@link Path}) and is joined to form a path string.
     48      * The details as to how the Strings are joined is provider specific but
     49      * typically they will be joined using the {@link FileSystem#getSeparator
     50      * name-separator} as the separator. For example, if the name separator is
     51      * "{@code /}" and {@code getPath("/foo","bar","gus")} is invoked, then the
     52      * path string {@code "/foo/bar/gus"} is converted to a {@code Path}.

     54      * is the empty string and {@code more} does not contain any non-empty
     55      * strings.
     56      *
     57      * <p> The {@code Path} is obtained by invoking the {@link FileSystem#getPath
     58      * getPath} method of the {@link FileSystems#getDefault default} {@link

     67      *     Path dir = ...
