//! Cross-platform path support
//!
//! This module implements support for two flavors of paths. `PosixPath` represents a path on any
//! unix-like system, whereas `WindowsPath` represents a path on Windows. This module also exposes
//! a typedef `Path` which is equal to the appropriate platform-specific path variant.
//!
//! Both `PosixPath` and `WindowsPath` implement a trait `GenericPath`, which contains the set of
//! methods that behave the same for both paths. They each also implement some methods that could
//! not be expressed in `GenericPath`, yet behave identically for both path flavors, such as
//! `.components()`.
//!
//! The three main design goals of this module are 1) to avoid unnecessary allocation, 2) to behave
//! the same regardless of which flavor of path is being used, and 3) to support paths that cannot
//! be represented in UTF-8 (as Linux has no restriction on paths beyond disallowing NUL).
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Usage of this module is fairly straightforward. Unless writing platform-specific code, `Path`
//! should be used to refer to the platform-native path.
//!
//! Creation of a path is typically done with either `Path::new(some_str)` or
//! `Path::new(some_vec)`. This path can be modified with `.push()` and `.pop()` (and other
//! setters). The resulting Path can either be passed to another API that expects a path, or can be
//! turned into a `&[u8]` with `.as_vec()` or a `Option<&str>` with `.as_str()`. Similarly,
//! attributes of the path can be queried with methods such as `.filename()`. There are also
//! methods that return a new path instead of modifying the receiver, such as `.join()` or
//! `.dir_path()`.
//!
//! Paths are always kept in normalized form. This means that creating the path
//! `Path::new("a/b/../c")` will return the path `a/c`. Similarly any attempt to mutate the path
//! will always leave it in normalized form.
//!
//! When rendering a path to some form of output, there is a method `.display()` which is
//! compatible with the `format!()` parameter `{}`. This will render the path as a string,
//! replacing all non-utf8 sequences with the Replacement Character (U+FFFD). As such it is not
//! suitable for passing to any API that actually operates on the path; it is only intended for
//! display.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::old_io::fs::PathExtensions;
//!
//! let mut path = Path::new("/tmp/path");
//! println!("path: {}", path.display());
//! path.set_filename("foo");
//! path.push("bar");
//! println!("new path: {}", path.display());
//! println!("path exists: {}", path.exists());
//! ```
