Method: Arrow::Path#initialize

Defined in:
lib/arrow/path.rb

#initialize(path = [], cache_lifespan = DEFAULT_CACHE_LIFESPAN) ⇒ Path

Create a new Arrow::Path object for the specified path, which can be either a String containing directory names separated by File::PATH_SEPARATOR, an Array of directory names, or an object which returns such an Array when #to_a is called on it. If cache_lifespan is non-zero, the Array of valid directories will be cached for cache_lifespan seconds to save calls to stat().
