Path

declaration

public interface Path extends Comparable<Path>, Iterable<Path>, Watchable

An immutable filesystem location with path algebra: resolve (join), relativize (invert), normalize (clean). The modern replacement for File's path half.

Key methods

`static Path of(String first, String... more)`	Create from segments.
`Path resolve(String other)`	Join paths.
`Path relativize(Path other)`	The inverse: this → other as a relative path.
`Path normalize()`	Remove . and .. segments.
`Path getParent() / getFileName()`	Structural accessors.
