Public Overloads Shared Function Combine( _
   ByVal unixPath1 As String, _
   ByVal unixPath2 As String _
) As String

Dim unixPath1 As String
Dim unixPath2 As String
Dim value As String
 
value = UnixPath.Combine(unixPath1, unixPath2)

public static string Combine( 
   string unixPath1,
   string unixPath2
)

public:
static String^ Combine( 
   String^ unixPath1,
   String^ unixPath2
)

Parameters

unixPath1: The first path to combine.
unixPath2: The second path to combine.

Return Value

The combined paths. If one of the specified paths is a zero-length string, this method returns the other path. If unixPath2 contains an absolute path, this method returns unixPath2.

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	unixPath1 or unixPath2 is null.
System.ArgumentException	unixPath1 or unixPath2 contains a Unix filesystem-illegal character, NUL.

If unixPath1 does not end with UnixDirectorySeparatorChar, it is appended to unixPath1 before concatenation.

If unixPath2 is a relative path (unixPath2 does not start with UnixDirectorySeparatorChar), the result is a concatenation of the two paths, with an intervening separator character. If unixPath2 is an absolute path, unixPath2 is returned.

White space is not parsed. Therefore, if unixPath2 starts with white space (for example, " /file.txt "), the Combine method appends unixPath2 to unixPath1 instead of returning only unixPath2.
