normalizePath {utils}R Documentation

Express File Paths in Canonical Form

Description

Convert file paths to canonical form for the platform, to display them in a user-understandable form.

Usage

normalizePath(path)

Arguments

path character vector of file paths.

Details

Where the platform supports it this turns paths into absolute paths in their canonical form (no ./, ../ nor symbolic links).

If the path is not a real path the result is undefined but will most likely be the corresponding input element.

Value

A character vector.

Examples

cat(normalizePath(c(R.home(), tempdir())), sep = "\n")
