=head1 NAME

File::Spec::Unix - File::Spec for Unix, base for other File::Spec modules

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 require File::Spec::Unix; # Done automatically by File::Spec

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Methods for manipulating file specifications.  Other File::Spec
modules, such as File::Spec::Mac, inherit from File::Spec::Unix and
override specific methods.

=head1 METHODS

=over 2

=item canonpath()

No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a
path. On UNIX eliminates successive slashes and successive "/.".

    $cpath = File::Spec->canonpath( $path ) ;

=cut

sub canonpath {
    my ($self,$path) = @_;
    
    # Handle POSIX-style node names beginning with double slash (qnx, nto)
    # Handle network path names beginning with double slash (cygwin)
    # (POSIX says: "a pathname that begins with two successive slashes
    # may be interpreted in an implementation-defined manner, although
    # more than two leading slashes shall be treated as a single slash.")
    my $node = '';
    if ( $^O =~ m/^(?:qnx|nto|cygwin)$/ && $path =~ s:^(//[^/]+)(/|\z):/:s ) {
      $node = $1;
    }
    # This used to be
    # $path =~ s|/+|/|g unless($^O eq 'cygwin');
    # but that made tests 29, 30, 35, 46, and 213 (as of #13272) to fail
    # (Mainly because trailing "" directories didn't get stripped).
    # Why would cygwin avoid collapsing multiple slashes into one? --jhi
    $path =~ s|/+|/|g;                             # xx////xx  -> xx/xx
    $path =~ s@(/\.)+(/|\Z(?!\n))@/@g;             # xx/././xx -> xx/xx
    $path =~ s|^(\./)+||s unless $path eq "./";    # ./xx      -> xx
    $path =~ s|^/(\.\./)+|/|s;                     # /../../xx -> xx
    $path =~ s|/\Z(?!\n)|| unless $path eq "/";          # xx/       -> xx
    return "$node$path";
}

=item catdir()

Concatenate two or more directory names to form a complete path ending
with a directory. But remove the trailing slash from the resulting
string, because it doesn't look good, isn't necessary and confuses
OS2. Of course, if this is the root directory, don't cut off the
trailing slash :-)

=cut

sub catdir {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->canonpath(join('/', @_, '')); # '' because need a trailing '/'
}

=item catfile

Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
complete path ending with a filename

=cut

sub catfile {
    my $self = shift;
    my $file = $self->canonpath(pop @_);
    return $file unless @_;
    my $dir = $self->catdir(@_);
    $dir .= "/" unless substr($dir,-1) eq "/";
    return $dir.$file;
}

=item curdir

Returns a string representation of the current directory.  "." on UNIX.

=cut

sub curdir () { '.' }
