This library provides functions to handle either Windows or Unix style paths, regardless of the operating system the code is running on.

The code for this is copied from the excellent Golang Standard Library's path/filepath package (which, unfortunately, is restricted via build tags to the native OS path style). We do not claim any ownership of this code. The patches directory contains the modifications made to the original code to make it work here.

There are two subpackages:

• windows handles Windows style paths (e.g. C:\Program Files\app\file.txt)
• unix handles Unix style paths (e.g. /usr/local/bin/app/file.txt)

The main package provides a Style type that can be set to either Windows or Unix and uses the appropriate subpackage to perform path operations.
