|
Support for bytestring based filepath manipulation, similar to 'filepath'.
|
|
|
|
## Motivation
|
|
|
|
This is basically a fork of [posix-paths](https://github.com/JohnLato/posix-paths), which seemed to have stalled development.
|
|
|
|
There is also a similar library [filepath-bytestring](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/filepath-bytestring), but it doesn't follow an open development model and is cross-platform, which this library is not interested in.

|
|
## Differences to 'posix-paths'
|
|
|
|
* uses the `word8` package for save word8 literals instead of `OverloadedStrings`
|
|
* `hasTrailingPathSeparator` and `dropTrailingPathSeparator` behave in the same way as their `System.FilePath` counterpart
|
|
* has some additional functions
