=TITLE class IO::Spec::QNX

=SUBTITLE Platform specific operations on file and directory paths QNX

    class IO::Spec::QNX is IO::Spec { }

This sub-class of L<IO::Spec> specific to QNX will be
available via C<$*SPEC> if the perl is running on QNX.

B<NOTE:> the C<IO::Spec::*> classes provide low-level path operations. Unless
you're creating your own high-level path manipulation routines, you don't
need to use C<IO::Spec::*>. Use L«C<IO::Path>|/type/IO::Path» instead.

B<NOTE2:> no special validation is done by these classes (e.g. check whether
path contains a NUL byte). It is the job of higher-level classes, like
L«C<IO::Path>|/type/IO::Path», to do that.

=head1 Methods

=head2 method canonpath

    method canonpath(Str() $path, :$parent --> Str:D)

Returns a string that is a canonical representation of C<$path>. If C<:$parent>
is set to true, will also clean up references to parent directories. B<NOTE:>
the routine does not access the filesystem, so no symlinks are followed.

    IO::Spec::QNX.canonpath("foo//../bar/../ber").say;
    # OUTPUT: «foo/../bar/../ber␤»

    IO::Spec::QNX.canonpath("foo///./../bar/../ber").say;
    # OUTPUT: «foo/../bar/../ber␤»

    IO::Spec::QNX.canonpath("foo///./../bar/../ber", :parent).say;
    # OUTPUT: «ber␤»
