Method: Path#clean

Defined in:
lib/path/implementation.rb

#clean(consider_symlink = false) ⇒ Object Also known as: cleanpath

Returns a cleaned version of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.

If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided. See #realpath.
