Method: Pathname#+

Defined in:
lib/pathname.rb

#+(other) ⇒ Object Also known as: /

Appends a pathname fragment to self to produce a new Pathname object. Since other is considered as a path relative to self, if other is an absolute path, the new Pathname object is created from just other.

p1 = Pathname.new("/usr")      # Pathname:/usr
p2 = p1 + "bin/ruby"           # Pathname:/usr/bin/ruby
p3 = p1 + "/etc/passwd"        # Pathname:/etc/passwd

# / is aliased to +.
p4 = p1 / "bin/ruby"           # Pathname:/usr/bin/ruby
p5 = p1 / "/etc/passwd"        # Pathname:/etc/passwd

This method doesn’t access the file system; it is pure string manipulation.
