+ path
+
+ path
+
+
+
+ Performs various path manipulations. Paths are always in a 'normalized'
+ representation. In it, a path may be either:
+
+
+ '.', or
+ ['/'] [ ( '..' '/' )* (token '/')* token ]
+
+
+ In plain english, path can be rooted, '..' elements are allowed only at the
+ beginning, and it never ends in slash, except for path consisting of slash
+ only.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ make
+ path
+
+ rule make ( native )
+ Converts the native path into normalized form.
+
+
+
+
+ native
+
+ rule native ( path )
+ Builds native representation of the path.
+
+
+
+
+ is-rooted
+
+ rule is-rooted ( path )
+ Tests if a path is rooted.
+
+
+
+
+ has-parent
+
+ rule has-parent ( path )
+ Tests if a path has a parent.
+
+
+
+
+ basename
+
+ rule basename ( path )
+ Returns the path without any directory components.
+
+
+
+
+ parent
+
+ rule parent ( path )
+ Returns parent directory of the path. If no parent exists, error is issued.
+
+
+
+
+ reverse
+
+ rule reverse ( path )
+
+ Returns path2 such that
+ [ join path path2 ] = ".".
+ The path may not contain ".."
+ element or be rooted.
+
+
+
+
+
+ join
+
+ rule join ( elements + )
+
+ Concatenates the passed path elements. Generates an error if any
+ element other than the first one is rooted. Skips any empty or
+ undefined path elements.
+
+
+
+
+
+ root
+
+ rule root ( path root )
+
+ If path is relative, it is rooted at
+ root. Otherwise, it is unchanged.
+
+
+
+
+
+ pwd
+
+ rule pwd ( )
+ Returns the current working directory.
+
+
+
+
+ glob
+
+ rule glob ( dirs * : patterns + : exclude-patterns * )
+
+ Returns the list of files matching the given pattern in the specified
+ directory. Both directories and patterns are supplied as portable paths. Each
+ pattern should be non-absolute path, and can't contain "." or ".." elements.
+ Each slash separated element of pattern can contain the following special
+ characters:
+
+
+ '?', which match any character
+
+
+ '*', which matches arbitrary number of characters.
+
+
+ A file $(d)/e1/e2/e3 (where 'd' is in $(dirs)) matches pattern p1/p2/p3 if and
+ only if e1 matches p1, e2 matches p2 and so on.
+
+ For example:
+
+[ glob . : *.cpp ]
+[ glob . : */build/Jamfile ]
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ glob-tree
+
+ rule glob-tree ( roots * : patterns + : exclude-patterns * )
+
+ Recursive version of glob.
+ Builds the glob of files while also searching in
+ the subdirectories of the given roots. An optional set of exclusion patterns
+ will filter out the matching entries from the result. The exclusions also
+ apply to the subdirectory scanning, such that directories that match the
+ exclusion patterns will not be searched.
+
+
+
+
+
+ exists
+
+ rule exists ( file )
+ Returns true is the specified file exists.
+
+
+
+
+ all-parents
+
+ rule all-parents ( path : upper_limit ? : cwd ? )
+
+ Find out the absolute name of path and returns the list of all the parents,
+ starting with the immediate one. Parents are returned as relative names. If
+ upper_limit is specified, directories above it
+ will be pruned.
+
+
+
+
+
+ glob-in-parents
+
+ rule glob-in-parents ( dir : patterns + : upper-limit ? )
+
+ Search for patterns in parent directories
+ of dir, up till and including
+ upper_limit, if it is specified, or
+ till the filesystem root otherwise.
+
+
+
+
+
+ relative
+
+ rule relative ( child parent : no-error ? )
+
+ Assuming child is a subdirectory of
+ parent, return the relative path from
+ parent to child.
+
+
+
+
+
+ relative-to
+
+ rule relative-to ( path1 path2 )
+ Returns the minimal path to path2 that is relative path1.
+
+
+
+
+ programs-path
+
+ rule programs-path ( )
+
+ Returns the list of paths which are used by the operating system for
+ looking up programs.
+
+
+
+
+
+ mkdirs
+
+ rule makedirs ( path )
+
+ Creates a directory and all parent directories that do not
+ already exist.
