When using FIleSystem.Sink, does the file path need to be complete?

[BitByAVampire]

I want to use SystemFileSystem for cross platform ios and android support. does the file path given to the sink method need to be the absolute path that you would get from say on android the androidContext.filesDir, or on ios the FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first

or can i just provide the last path component, ie the filename, and the filesystem picks something for me?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

@BitByAVampire, both absolute ("/home/username/directory/subdirectory") and relative ("directory/subdirectory") paths are supported. On almost all platforms (including iOS and Android), relative paths will be resolved against a current working directory (so, for instance, if app's current working directory is /data/private/org.example.app, then the directory/subdirectory path will be resolved to /data/private/org.example.app/directory/subdirectory).

how does the api, eg sink, know whether im providing the absolute or relative path?

[fzhinkin]

There's a Path.isAbsolute property which reports that information (and Path parses the string with a path to figure that out).

Ok smart. Now is there a way for me to get the full path of the file created if i used the sink with only a relative path?

EDIT: Ah i see resolve method in the api! thanks!

Yes, you can use SystemFileSystem.resolve().
