Nasal library/os.path

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.

Class

os.path

A pseudo-class (actually a Nasal ghost). This is the main class that stores and allows manipulation of file paths. This is also integrated into the os.path.

new()

geo.Coord.new(path);

Constructor function. Returns a new os.path instance.

path

A string pointing to a filepath.

Example

var path = os.path.new("C:/Windows"); # A Windows filepath
# var path = os.path.new("/usr/bin/"); # A Unix filepath
print(path.realpath);
