@stdlib/assert-is-absolute-path-cli

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

isAbsolutePath

Test if a value is an absolute path.

Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

npm install -g @stdlib/assert-is-absolute-path-cli

Usage

Usage: is-absolute-path [options] [<path>]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --platform name       Platform: 'win32' or 'posix'.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.

Notes

• If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the split option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

  # Not escaped...
  $ echo -n $'/foo/bar/baz\n./docs/repl.txt' | is-absolute-path --split /\r?\n/
  
  # Escaped...
  $ echo -n $'/foo/bar/baz\n./docs/repl.txt' | is-absolute-path --split /\\r?\\n/

• The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

Examples

$ is-absolute-path /foo/bar/baz --platform=posix
true

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n './docs/repl.txt' | is-absolute-path
false

By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split option.

$ echo -n '/foo/bar/baz\t./docs/repl.txt' | is-absolute-path --platform=posix --split '\t'
true
false
