genericpath


Path operations common to more than one OS
Do not use directly.  The OS specific modules import the appropriate
functions from this module themselves.

Functions

commonprefix

commonprefix(m)

  Given a list of pathnames, returns the longest common leading component

exists

exists(path)

  Test whether a path exists.  Returns False for broken symbolic links

getatime

getatime(filename)

  Return the last access time of a file, reported by os.stat().

getctime

getctime(filename)

  Return the metadata change time of a file, reported by os.stat().

getmtime

getmtime(filename)

  Return the last modification time of a file, reported by os.stat().

getsize

getsize(filename)

  Return the size of a file, reported by os.stat().

isdir

isdir(s)

  Return true if the pathname refers to an existing directory.

isfile

isfile(path)

  Test whether a path is a regular file

samefile

samefile(f1, f2)

  Test whether two pathnames reference the same actual file or directory

      This is determined by the device number and i-node number and
      raises an exception if an os.stat() call on either pathname fails.

sameopenfile

sameopenfile(fp1, fp2)

  Test whether two open file objects reference the same file

samestat
