Method: Path#initialize

Defined in:
lib/epath/identity.rb

#initialize(*parts) ⇒ Path

Creates a new Path. If multiple arguments are given, they are joined with File.join. The path will have File::ALT_SEPARATOR replaced with ‘/’ and if it begins with a ‘~’, it will be expanded (using File.expand_path). Accepts an Array of Strings, a Tempfile, anything that respond to #path, #to_path or #to_str with a String and defaults to calling #to_s.
