API

The following functions are exported:

basename(path string) string

Theis method returns the last portion of a path, similar to the POSIX basename command. Trailing directory separators are ignored.

wpath.basename(r'C:\Users\prantlf') // returns r'prantlf'

dirname(path string) string

This method returns the directory name of a path, similar to the POSIX dirname command. Trailing directory separators are ignored.

wpath.dirname(r'C:\Users\prantlf') // returns r'C:\Users'

extname(path string) string

This method returns the extension of the path, from the last occurrence of the . (period) character to end of string in the last portion of the path. If there is no . in the last portion of the path, or if there are no . characters other than the first character of the basename of path (see basename above), an empty string is returned.

wpath.extname(r'C:\Users\prantlf\start.bat') // returns r'.bat'
