Only syntactic aspects of paths are handled: +the pathname may represent a non-existing path or even one that is not allowed +to exist on the current file system or OS. + +For operations involving the filesystem, have a look at the :command:`file` +command. + +The path name has the following syntax: + +1. ``root-name`` (optional): identifies the root on a filesystem with multiple + roots (such as ``"C:"`` or ``"//myserver"``). + +2. ``root-directory`` (optional): a directory separator that, if present, marks + this path as absolute. If it is missing (and the first element other than + the ``root-name`` is a ``item-name``), then the path is relative. + +Zero or more of the following: + +3. ``item-name``: sequence of characters that aren't directory separators. This + name may identify a file, a hard link, a symbolic link, or a directory. Two + special ``item-names`` are recognized: + + * ``dot``: the item name consisting of a single dot character ``.`` is a + directory name that refers to the current directory. + + * ``dot-dot``: the item name consisting of two dot characters ``..`` is a + directory name that refers to the parent directory. + +4. ``directory-separator``: the forward slash character ``/``. If this + character is repeated, it is treated as a single directory separator: + ``/usr///////lib`` is the same as ``/usr/lib``. + +.. _FILENAME_DEF: + +A path has a filename if it does not ends with a ``directory-separator``. The +filename is the last ``item-name`` of the path. + +.. _EXTENSION_DEF: + +A :ref:`filename <FILENAME_DEF>` can have an extension. By default, the +extension is defined as the sub-string beginning at the leftmost period +(including the period) and until the end of the pathname. When the option +``LAST_ONLY`` is specified, the extension is the sub-string beginning at the +rightmost period. + +The following exceptions apply: + + * If the first character in the :ref:`filename <FILENAME_DEF>` is a period, + that period is ignored (a filename like ``".profile"`` is not treated as an + extension). + + * If the pathname is either ``.`` or ``..``. + +.. note:: + + ``cmake_path`` command handles paths in the format of the build system, not + the target system.

An error +will be raised if the variable does not exist, except for `SET`_ and `APPEND`_ +sub-commands. ``<input>`` placeholder expect a string literal. +``[<input>...]`` placeholder expect zero or more arguments. ``<out-var>`` +placeholder expect a variable name. + +.. note:: + + ``cmake_path`` command does not support list of paths.
