# Method combine_path_unix()

Method combine_path_unix

  `string combine_path(string path, string ... paths)`
  `string combine_path_unix(string path, string ... paths)`
  `string combine_path_nt(string path, string ... paths)`
  `string combine_path_amigaos(string path, string ... paths)`

Description

  Concatenate a number of paths to a straightforward path without any `"//"`, `"/.."` or `"/."`. If any path argument is absolute then the result is absolute and the preceding arguments are ignored. If the result is relative then it might have leading `".."` components. If the last nonempty argument ends with a directory separator then the result ends with that too. If all components in a relative path disappear due to subsequent `".."` components then the result is `"."`.

  combine_path_unix() concatenates in UNIX style, which also is appropriate for e.g. URL:s ("/" separates path components and absolute paths start with "/"). combine_path_nt() concatenates according to NT filesystem conventions ("/" and "\" separates path components and there might be a drive letter in front of absolute paths). combine_path_amigaos() concatenates according to AmigaOS filesystem conventions.

  combine_path() is equivalent to combine_path_unix() on UNIX-like operating systems, and equivalent to combine_path_nt() on NT-like operating systems, and equivalent to combine_path_amigaos() on AmigaOS-like operating systems.
