kPath Class Reference

## Description

Collection of path manipulation functions.

Most of the functions in this class expect paths to be in normal form (canonical separator character, no trailing slashes). The kPath_Normalize function can be used to normalize paths prior to calling other kPath functions.

The kPath_ToNative function can be used to transform a path in normal form to a form suitable for the underlying system (native separator).
