PathIsCaseSensitive

Returns true if paths compare case-sensitively here: on Linux and macOS, not Windows.

Syntax

PathIsCaseSensitive( )

Notes

• compile-time, per platform -- NOT per volume

Examples

#import "std/fs"
using fs

'' COMPILE-TIME, PER PLATFORM -- not per volume. It answers what the
'' grammar assumes, not what the file system in front of you does.
print PathIsCaseSensitive( )             '' false on Windows

print PathIsCaseSensitive( FB_PATH_POSIX )       '' true
print PathIsCaseSensitive( FB_PATH_WIN32 )       '' false

'' A case-sensitive volume mounted on Windows, or a case-insensitive one
'' on Linux or macOS, is not visible here. VolumeInfo.IsCaseSensitive asks the
'' actual volume.
