See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods provided
there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
the semantics.
.PP
The default behavior is to allow either \s-1VMS\s0 or Unix syntax on input and to
return \s-1VMS\s0 syntax on output unless Unix syntax has been explicitly requested
via the \f(CW\*(C`DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT\*(C'\fR \s-1CRTL\s0 feature.
.IP "canonpath (override)" 4
.IX Item "canonpath (override)"
Removes redundant portions of file specifications and returns results
in native syntax unless Unix filename reporting has been enabled.
.IP "catdir (override)" 4
.IX Item "catdir (override)"
Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result as a
native directory specification unless the Unix filename reporting feature
has been enabled. No check is made for \*(L"impossible\*(R" cases (e.g. elements
other than the first being absolute filespecs).
.IP "catfile (override)" 4
.IX Item "catfile (override)"
Concatenates a list of directory specifications with a filename specification
to build a path.
.IP "curdir (override)" 4
.IX Item "curdir (override)"
Returns a string representation of the current directory: '[]' or '.'
.IP "devnull (override)" 4
.IX Item "devnull (override)"
Returns a string representation of the null device: '_NLA0:' or '/dev/null'
.IP "rootdir (override)" 4
.IX Item "rootdir (override)"
Returns a string representation of the root directory: 'SYS$DISK:[000000]'
or '/'
.IP "tmpdir (override)" 4
.IX Item "tmpdir (override)"
Returns a string representation of the first writable directory
from the following list or '' if none are writable:
