       Operations on file names.

       val current_dir_name : string

       The conventional name for the current directory (e.g.  .  in Unix).

       val parent_dir_name : string

       The conventional name for the parent of the current directory (e.g.  ..  in Unix).

       val dir_sep : string

       The directory separator (e.g.  / in Unix).

       Since 3.11.2

       val concat : string -> string -> string

       concat dir file returns a file name that designates file file in directory dir .

       val is_relative : string -> bool

       Return true if the file name is relative to the current directory, false if it is absolute (i.e. in Unix,
       starts with / ).

       val is_implicit : string -> bool

       Return  true  if  the  file name is relative and does not start with an explicit reference to the current
       directory ( ./ or ../ in Unix), false if it starts with an explicit reference to the  root  directory  or
       the current directory.

       val check_suffix : string -> string -> bool

       check_suffix name suff returns true if the filename name ends with the suffix suff .

       val chop_suffix : string -> string -> string

       chop_suffix  name suff removes the suffix suff from the filename name . The behavior is undefined if name
       does not end with the suffix suff .

       val chop_extension : string -> string

       Return the given file name without its extension. The extension is the shortest suffix  starting  with  a
       period and not including a directory separator, .xyz for instance.

       Raise Invalid_argument if the given name does not contain an extension.

       val basename : string -> string

       Split  a  file  name  into  directory  name  / base file name.  If name is a valid file name, then concat
       (dirname name) (basename name) returns a file name which is equivalent to name . Moreover, after  setting
       the current directory to dirname name (with Sys.chdir ), references to basename name (which is a relative
       file name) designate the same file as name before the call to Sys.chdir .

       This function conforms to the specification of POSIX.1-2008 for the basename utility.

       val dirname : string -> string

       See  Filename.basename  .   This  function  conforms to the specification of POSIX.1-2008 for the dirname
       utility.

       val temp_file : ?temp_dir:string -> string -> string -> string

       temp_file prefix suffix returns the name of a fresh temporary file in the temporary directory.  The  base
       name  of  the  temporary  file is formed by concatenating prefix , then a suitably chosen integer number,
       then suffix .  The optional argument temp_dir indicates the temporary directory to use, defaulting to the
       current result of Filename.get_temp_dir_name .  The temporary file is  created  empty,  with  permissions
       0o600  (readable  and  writable only by the file owner).  The file is guaranteed to be different from any
       other file that existed when temp_file was called.  Raise Sys_error if the file could not be created.

       Before3.11.2 no ?temp_dir optional argument

       val open_temp_file : ?mode:Pervasives.open_flag list -> ?temp_dir:string -> string -> string -> string  *
       Pervasives.out_channel

       Same  as  Filename.temp_file , but returns both the name of a fresh temporary file, and an output channel
       opened (atomically) on this file.  This function is more secure than temp_file : there is  no  risk  that
       the  temporary file will be modified (e.g. replaced by a symbolic link) before the program opens it.  The
       optional argument mode is a list of additional flags to control the opening of the file.  It can  contain
       one  or  several of Open_append , Open_binary , and Open_text .  The default is [Open_text] (open in text
       mode).  Raise Sys_error if the file could not be opened.

       Before3.11.2 no ?temp_dir optional argument

       val get_temp_dir_name : unit -> string

       The name of the temporary directory: Under Unix, the value of the TMPDIR environment variable, or  "/tmp"
       if  the  variable  is not set.  Under Windows, the value of the TEMP environment variable, or "."  if the
       variable is not set.  The temporary directory can be changed with Filename.set_temp_dir_name .

       Since 4.00.0

       val set_temp_dir_name : string -> unit

       Change the temporary directory returned by Filename.get_temp_dir_name and used by Filename.temp_file  and
       Filename.open_temp_file .

       Since 4.00.0

       val temp_dir_name : string

       Deprecated.  You should use Filename.get_temp_dir_name instead.

       The name of the initial temporary directory: Under Unix, the value of the TMPDIR environment variable, or
       "/tmp" if the variable is not set.  Under Windows, the value of the TEMP environment variable, or "."  if
       the variable is not set.

       Since 3.09.1

       val quote : string -> string

       Return  a quoted version of a file name, suitable for use as one argument in a command line, escaping all
       meta-characters.  Warning: under Windows, the output is only suitable for use with programs  that  follow
       the standard Windows quoting conventions.
