This page contains documentation for the os.path namespace in Nasal. This namespace implements tools (from SGPath) for manipulating file paths. Everything in the geo namespace is sourced from flightgear/src/Scripting/NasalSGPath.cxx

Tip  Copy & paste the examples into your Nasal Console and execute them to see what they do.
Note  Everything here was added to FlightGear 3.0.
