Extension methods for Path.

Required Methods§

Normalizes a path using purely lexical analysis.

The following normalization rules are applied iteratively:

Multiple contiguous path separators are replaced with a single MAIN_SEPARATOR.
Current directory components (.) are removed.
Parent directory components (..) that do not occur at the beginning of the path are removed along with the preceding component.
Parent directory components at the start of a rooted path (e.g., /..) are removed.
Empty paths are replaced with “.”.

The returned path ends in a separator only if it represents the root directory.

This method is a port of Go’s path.Clean function.

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
