📛 NAME

ntpath - Common pathname manipulations, WindowsNT/95 version.

🚀 Quick Reference

Use Case	Command	Description
Join paths	join('c:\\foo', 'bar')	Combine path components using Windows separator
Get base name	basename('c:\\foo\\bar.txt')	Return final component 'bar.txt'
Get directory name	dirname('c:\\foo\\bar.txt')	Return directory 'c:\\foo'
Check existence	exists('c:\\foo')	Test whether path exists (ignoring broken links)
Normalise path	normpath('c:\\foo\\..\\bar')	Resolve double slashes and dots
Split extension	splitext('file.txt')	Extract root and extension as tuple
Get absolute path	abspath('..\\bar')	Return fully resolved absolute path
Expand user	expanduser('~\\Documents')	Replace ~ with user's home directory

📖 DESCRIPTION

Instead of importing this module directly, import os and refer to this module as os.path.

📋 FUNCTIONS

• abspath(path) — Return the absolute version of a path as a fallback function in case nt._getfullpathname is not available or raises OSError. See bpo-31047 for more.
• basename(p) — Returns the final component of a pathname
• commonpath(paths) — Given a sequence of path names, returns the longest common sub-path.
• commonprefix(m) — Given a list of pathnames, returns the longest common leading component
• dirname(p) — Returns the directory component of a pathname
• exists(path) — Test whether a path exists. Returns False for broken symbolic links
• expanduser(path) — Expand ~ and ~user constructs. If user or $HOME is unknown, do nothing.
• expandvars(path) — Expand shell variables of the forms $var, ${var} and %var%. Unknown variables are left unchanged.
• getatime(filename) — Return the last access time of a file, reported by os.stat().
• getctime(filename) — Return the metadata change time of a file, reported by os.stat().
• getmtime(filename) — Return the last modification time of a file, reported by os.stat().
• getsize(filename) — Return the size of a file, reported by os.stat().
• isabs(s) — Test whether a path is absolute
• isdir(s) — Return true if the pathname refers to an existing directory.
• isfile(path) — Test whether a path is a regular file
• islink(path) — Test whether a path is a symbolic link. This will always return false for Windows prior to 6.0.
• ismount(path) — Test whether a path is a mount point (a drive root, the root of a share, or a mounted volume)
• join(path, *paths) — Join two (or more) paths.
• lexists(path) — Test whether a path exists. Returns True for broken symbolic links
• normcase(s) — Normalize case of pathname. Makes all characters lowercase and all slashes into backslashes.
• normpath(path) — Normalize path, eliminating double slashes, etc.
• realpath(path) — Return the absolute version of a path as a fallback function in case nt._getfullpathname is not available or raises OSError. See bpo-31047 for more.
• relpath(path, start=None) — Return a relative version of a path
• samefile(f1, f2) — Test whether two pathnames reference the same actual file or directory. This is determined by the device number and i-node number and raises an exception if an os.stat() call on either pathname fails.
• sameopenfile(fp1, fp2) — Test whether two open file objects reference the same file
• samestat(s1, s2) — Test whether two stat buffers reference the same file
• split(p) — Split a pathname. Return tuple (head, tail) where tail is everything after the final slash. Either part may be empty.
• splitdrive(p) — Split a pathname into drive/UNC sharepoint and relative path specifiers. Returns a 2-tuple (drive_or_unc, path); either part may be empty.

  If you assign

  result = splitdrive(p)

  It is always true that:

  result[0] + result[1] == p

  If the path contained a drive letter, drive_or_unc will contain everything up to and including the colon. e.g. splitdrive("c:/dir") returns ("c:", "/dir")

  If the path contained a UNC path, the drive_or_unc will contain the host name and share up to but not including the fourth directory separator character. e.g. splitdrive("//host/computer/dir") returns ("//host/computer", "/dir")

  Paths cannot contain both a drive letter and a UNC path.

• splitext(p) — Split the extension from a pathname. Extension is everything from the last dot to the end, ignoring leading dots. Returns "(root, ext)"; ext may be empty.
