=head1 NAME

File::Spec::Link - Perl extension for reading and resolving symbolic links

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use File::Spec::Link;
    my $file = File::Spec::Link->linked($link); 
    my $file = File::Spec::Link->resolve($link); 
    my $dirname = File::Spec::Link->chopfile($file);
    my $newname = File::Spec::Link->relative_to_file($path, $link);
  
    my $realname = File::Spec::Link->full_resolve($file);
    my $realname = File::Spec::Link->resolve_path($file);
    my $realname = File::Spec::Link->resolve_all($file);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<File::Spec::Link> is an extension to C<File::Spec>, adding methods for
resolving symbolic links; it was created to implement C<File::Copy::Link>.

=over

=item C<< linked($link) >>

Returns the filename linked to by C<$link>: by C<readlink>ing C<$link>,
and resolving that path relative to the directory of C<$link>. 

=item C<< resolve($link) >>

Returns the non-link ultimately linked to by C<$link>, by repeatedly
calling C<linked>.  Returns C<undef> if the link can not be resolved.

=item C<< chopfile($file) >>

Returns the directory of C<$file>, by splitting the path of C<$file>
and returning (the volumne and) directory parts.

=item C<< relative_to_file($path, $file) >>

Returns the path of C<$path> relative to the directory of file
C<$file>.  If C<$path> is absolute, just returns C<$path>.

=item C<< resolve_all($file) >>

Returns the filename of C<$file> with all links in the path resolved,
wihout using C<Cwd>.

=item C<< full_resolve($file) >>

Returns the filename of C<$file> with all links in the path resolved.

This sub tries to use C<Cwd::abs_path> via C<< ->resolve_path >>.

=item C<< resolve_path($file) >>

Returns the filename of C<$file> with all links in the path resolved.

This sub uses C<Cwd::abs_path> and is independent of the rest of
C<File::Spec::Link>. 

=back
 
=head2 Object methods 

=over 4

=item C<< new([$path]) >>

create new path object: stores path as a list

=item C<< path >>

returns path as a string, using catpath

=item C<< canonical >>

returns canonical path, using canonpath

=item C<< vol >>

returns volume element of path, see File::Spec->splitpath

=item C<< dir >>

returns directory element of path, as a string, see File::Spec->splitpath

=item C<< dirs >>

return list of directory components in path, see File::Spec->splitdir
	
=item C<< pop >>

remove last component of the path 

=item C<< push($file) >>

add a file component to the path, ignoring empty strings

=item C<< add($file) >>

add a component to the path:
treating C<updir> as C<pop>,
and ignoring C<curdir> and empty strings

=item C<< split($path) >>

populate a path object, using splitpath

=item C<< chop >>

remove and return a file component from path, 
an empty string returns means this was root dir.
    
=item C<< relative($path) >>

replace the path object with the supplied path,
where the new path is relative to the path object

=item C<< follow >>

follow the link, where the path object is a link 

=item C<< resolved >>

resolve the path object, by repeatedly following links
 
=item C<< resolvedir >>

resolve the links at all component levels  within the path object

=back

=head2 Other class methods

=over 4

=item C<< canonpath($path) >>

Wrapper round File::Spec::canonpath, fatal if empty input

=item C<< catdir(@dirs) >>

Wrapper round File::Spec::catdir, returns C<curdir> from empty list

=item C<< splitlast($path) >>

Get component from C<$path> (using C<chop>)
and returns remaining path and compenent, as strings.
[Not used]

=back

=head2 EXPORT

None - all subs are methods for C<File::Spec::Link>.
