Converts a path string, or a sequence of strings that when joined form
a path string, to a Path
. If more
does not specify any
elements then the value of the first
parameter is the path string
to convert. If more
specifies one or more elements then each
non-empty string, including first
, is considered to be a sequence
of name elements (see Path
) and is joined to form a path string.
The details as to how the Strings are joined is provider specific but
typically they will be joined using the name-separator
as the separator. For example, if the name separator is
" /
" and getPath("/foo","bar","gus")
is invoked, then the
path string "/foo/bar/gus"
is converted to a Path
.
A Path
representing an empty path is returned if first
is the empty string and more
does not contain any non-empty
strings.
The Path
is obtained by invoking the getPath
method of the default
FileSystem
.
Note that while this method is very convenient, using it will imply
an assumed reference to the default FileSystem
and limit the
utility of the calling code. Hence it should not be used in library code
intended for flexible reuse. A more flexible alternative is to use an
existing Path
instance as an anchor, such as:
Path dir = ... Path path = dir.resolve("file");
