/**
 * General file name and file path manipulation utilities.
 * <p>
 * When dealing with file names you can hit problems when moving from a Windows
 * based development machine to a Unix based production machine.
 * This class aims to help avoid those problems.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <b>NOTE</b>: You may be able to avoid using this class entirely simply by
 * using JDK {@link java.io.File File} objects and the two argument constructor
 * {@link java.io.File#File(java.io.File, String) File(File,String)}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Most methods on this class are designed to work the same on both Unix and Windows.
 * Those that don't include 'System', 'Unix' or 'Windows' in their name.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Most methods recognize both separators (forward and back), and both
 * sets of prefixes. See the Javadoc of each method for details.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class defines six components within a file name
 * (example C:\dev\project\file.txt):
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>the prefix - C:\</li>
 * <li>the path - dev\project\</li>
 * <li>the full path - C:\dev\project\</li>
 * <li>the name - file.txt</li>
 * <li>the base name - file</li>
 * <li>the extension - txt</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Note that this class works best if directory file names end with a separator.
 * If you omit the last separator, it is impossible to determine if the file name
 * corresponds to a file or a directory. As a result, we have chosen to say
 * it corresponds to a file.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class only supports Unix and Windows style names.
 * Prefixes are matched as follows:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * Windows:
 * a\b\c.txt           --&gt; ""          --&gt; relative
 * \a\b\c.txt          --&gt; "\"         --&gt; current drive absolute
 * C:a\b\c.txt         --&gt; "C:"        --&gt; drive relative
 * C:\a\b\c.txt        --&gt; "C:\"       --&gt; absolute
 * \\server\a\b\c.txt  --&gt; "\\server\" --&gt; UNC
 *
 * Unix:
 * a/b/c.txt           --&gt; ""          --&gt; relative
 * /a/b/c.txt          --&gt; "/"         --&gt; absolute
 * ~/a/b/c.txt         --&gt; "~/"        --&gt; current user
 * ~                   --&gt; "~/"        --&gt; current user (slash added)
 * ~user/a/b/c.txt     --&gt; "~user/"    --&gt; named user
 * ~user               --&gt; "~user/"    --&gt; named user (slash added)
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Both prefix styles are matched always, irrespective of the machine that you are
 * currently running on.
 * </p>
