Swift FilePath Syntactic Operations

Michael Ilseman:

FilePath appeared in System 0.0.1 with a minimal API. This proposal adds API for syntactic operations, which are performed on the structure of the path and thus do not consult with the file system or make any system calls. These include inspecting the structure of paths, modifying paths, and accessing individual components.

Additionally, this proposal greatly expands Windows support and enables writing platform-agnostic path manipulation code.

Previously:

• Swift System Is Now Open Source

Update (2021-01-27): Michael Ilseman:

Version 2 of FilePath Syntactic APIs is live.

Highlight: splitting Root off from Component lets the type system sort out so many corner cases.
