Path by [@spol](https://twitter.com/spol)
=========================================

[](#path-by-spol)

Path is a simple library for manipulating strings containing filesystem paths.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Through composer:

```
{
    "require": {
        "spol/path": "0.1.*"
    }
}
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

There are two concrete implementations of the Spol\\Path\\AbstractPath class, Spol\\Path\\UnixPath and Spol\\Path\\WindowsPath. Both provide the same interface, but handle directory separators and drive letters differently.

The `Spol\Path\Path` class provides a static facade to the appropriate class for the current system. Alternatively, either class can be used directly, such as for working with paths for a different system.

```
Path::normalize('/usr/local/../bin')    // '/usr/bin'
```
