Functions Documentation ##

function pathsplit ##

inline vector< string > pathsplit(
    const string & path
)

Split a path string with colon delimiters.

Ignores zero-length substrings. Designed for getting elements of filesystem paths, naturally.

function pathjoin ##

inline string pathjoin(

inline string dirname(
    const string & p
)
