vpathlib

Path helpers for the jobs the built in path functions leave out.

Released v1.0.0 · 2026-09-28

Import

use "stdlib/pathlib.ven"

Path text handling not already covered by the standard library's own path builtins, such as joining, splitting and normalizing a file path, built on Venutian's own core text and filesystem operations. It fills specific, real gaps left by the existing path builtins rather than replacing them.
