expand(t()) :: binary()

Converts the path to an absolute one and expands any . and .. characters and a leading ~.

#=> "/foo/baz"

Specs

expand(t(), t()) :: binary()

Expands the path relative to the path given as the second argument expanding any . and .. characters.

If the path is already an absolute path, relative_to is ignored.

Note that this function treats a path with a leading ~ as an absolute one.

The second argument is first expanded to an absolute path.

Examples

# Assuming that the absolute path to baz is /quux/baz
Path.expand("foo/bar/../bar", "baz")
#=> "/quux/baz/foo/bar"

Path.expand("foo/bar/../bar", "/baz")
#=> "/baz/foo/bar"

Path.expand("/foo/bar/../bar", "/baz")
#=> "/foo/bar"
