NAME Resolve-CFullPath



SYNOPSIS

Converts a relative path to an absolute path.





SYNTAX

Resolve-CFullPath [-Path] <String> [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Unlike `Resolve-Path`, this function does not check whether the path exists. It just converts relative paths to

absolute paths.



Unrooted paths (e.g. `..\\..\\See\\I\\Do\\Not\\Have\\A\\Root`) are first joined with the current directory (as returned by

`Get-Location`).





PARAMETERS

-Path <String>

The path to resolve. Must be rooted, i.e. have a drive at the beginning.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS



OUTPUTS



-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------



PS C:\\>Resolve-CFullPath -Path 'C:\\Projects\\Carbon\\Test\\..\\Carbon\\FileSystem.ps1'



Returns `C:\\Projects\\Carbon\\Carbon\\FileSystem.ps1`.









-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------



PS C:\\>Resolve-CFullPath -Path 'C:\\Projects\\Carbon\\..\\I\\Do\\Not\\Exist'



Returns `C:\\Projects\\I\\Do\\Not\\Exist`.









-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------



PS C:\\>Resolve-CFullPath -Path ..\\..\\Foo\\..\\Bar



Because the `Path` isn't rooted, joins `Path` with the current directory (as returned by `Get-Location`), and

returns the full path. If the current directory is `C:\\Projects\\Carbon`, returns `C:\\Bar`.
