relative_posix_path

relative_posix_path

A small utility crate to calculate relative POSIX paths from any two paths, regardless of the current operating system

Features

• Convert Windows or Unix paths to relative POSIX paths
• Simple and easy-to-use API
• Cross-platform compatibility

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
relative_posix_path = "0.1.0"

Usage

use relative_posix_path::relative_posix_path;

fn main() {
    let base_path = "/foo/";
    let filename = "/bar/baz.txt";
    let relative_path = relative_posix_path(base_path, filename);
    assert_eq!(relative_path, "../bar/baz.txt");

    // Works with Windows paths too
    let windows_base_path = r"C:\foo\";
    let windows_filename = r"C:\bar\baz.txt";
    let windows_relative_path = relative_posix_path(windows_base_path, windows_filename);
    assert_eq!(windows_relative_path, "../bar/baz.txt");
}
