  text: Pathname
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: "Pathname represents a pathname which locates a file in a filesystem. The pathname depends on OS: Unix, Windows, etc. Pathname library works with pathnames of local OS. However non-Unix pathnames are supported experimentally."
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: It does not represent the file itself. A Pathname can be relative or absolute. It's not until you try to reference the file that it even matters whether the file exists or not.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: Pathname is immutable. It has no method for destructive update.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: The value of this class is to manipulate file path information in a neater way than standard Ruby provides. The examples below demonstrate the difference. <b>All</b> functionality from File, FileTest, and some from Dir and FileUtils is included, in an unsurprising way. It is essentially a facade for all of these, and more.

  body: As the above section shows, most of the methods in Pathname are facades. The documentation for these methods generally just says, for instance, &quot;See FileTest.writable?&quot;, as you should be familiar with the original method anyway, and its documentation (e.g. through <tt>ri</tt>) will contain more information. In some cases, a brief description will follow.
