NAME

       Lintian::Path::FSInfo - File System information for Lintian::Path

SYNOPSIS

         my $l_path;  # A L::Path object
         my $fs_info; # A L::Path::FSInfo object
         if ($fs_info->has_anchored_root_dir) {
           # The "root" dir is anchored and paths starting with "/" can
           # trivially be resolved (as relative to the "root" dir).
         } else {
           # The "root" dir is undefined and paths starting with "/" *cannot*
           # be resolved.
         }

CLASS METHODS

       new(OPTS)
           Internal constructor (used by Lintian::Collect::Package)

INSTANCE METHODS

       _underlying_fs_path(PATH)
           Given PATH, a Lintian::Path, obtain the underlying file system path that it represents.

       _file_info(PATH)
           Given PATH, a Lintian::Path, obtain the output from file(1) about the file, if it has been collected.
           Throws an error if it not available.

       has_anchored_root_dir
           Returns  a truth value if the "root" directory is anchored and is defined by the path string "/".  In
           such cases, paths starting with "/" are well-defined  semantically  and  are  relative  to  the  root
           directory rather than the "current" directory.

           On the other hand, if this returns a non-truth value, the "root" directory is not well-defined and no
           path starting with "/" can be resolved logically.
