ntpath

Common pathname manipulations, WindowsNT/95 version.

Instead of importing this module directly, import os and refer to this
module as os.path.

Functions

abspath

_abspath_fallback(path)

  Return the absolute version of a path as a fallback function in case
      `nt._getfullpathname` is not available or raises OSError. See bpo-31047 for
      more.

basename

basename(p)

  Returns the final component of a pathname

commonpath

commonpath(paths)

  Given a sequence of path names, returns the longest common sub-path.

commonprefix

commonprefix(m)

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

dirname

dirname(p)

  Returns the directory component of a pathname

exists

exists(path)

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

expanduser

expanduser(path)

  Expand ~ and ~user constructs.

      If user or $HOME is unknown, do nothing.

expandvars

expandvars(path)

  Expand shell variables of the forms $var, ${var} and %var%.

      Unknown variables are left unchanged.

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().

isabs

isabs(s)

  Test whether a path is absolute

isdir

isdir(s)

  Return true if the pathname refers to an existing directory.

isfile

isfile(path)

  Test whether a path is a regular file

islink

islink(path)

  Test whether a path is a symbolic link.
      This will always return false for Windows prior to 6.0.

ismount

ismount(path)

  Test whether a path is a mount point (a drive root, the root of a
      share, or a mounted volume)

join

join(path, *paths)

lexists

lexists(path)

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

normcase

normcase(s)

  Normalize case of pathname.

          Makes all characters lowercase and all slashes into backslashes.

normpath

normpath(path)

  Normalize path, eliminating double slashes, etc.

realpath

_abspath_fallback(path)

  Return the absolute version of a path as a fallback function in case
      `nt._getfullpathname` is not available or raises OSError. See bpo-31047 for
      more.

relpath

relpath(path, start=None)

  Return a relative version of a path

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

samestat(s1, s2)

  Test whether two stat buffers reference the same file

split

split(p)

  Split a pathname.

      Return tuple (head, tail) where tail is everything after the final slash.
      Either part may be empty.

splitdrive

splitdrive(p)

  Split a pathname into drive/UNC sharepoint and relative path specifiers.
      Returns a 2-tuple (drive_or_unc, path); either part may be empty.

      If you assign
          result = splitdrive(p)
      It is always true that:
          result[0] + result[1] == p

      If the path contained a drive letter, drive_or_unc will contain everything
      up to and including the colon.  e.g. splitdrive("c:/dir") returns ("c:", "/dir")

      If the path contained a UNC path, the drive_or_unc will contain the host name
      and share up to but not including the fourth directory separator character.
      e.g. splitdrive("//host/computer/dir") returns ("//host/computer", "/dir")

      Paths cannot contain both a drive letter and a UNC path.

splitext

splitext(p)

  Split the extension from a pathname.

      Extension is everything from the last dot to the end, ignoring
      leading dots.  Returns "(root, ext)"; ext may be empty.
