Do any C++ GNU standalone classes exist which handle paths cross platform? My applications build on Windows and LInux. Our configuration files refer to another file in a seperate directory. I'd like to be able to read the path for the other configuration file into a class which would work on both Linux or Windows.
Which class would offer the smallest footprint to translate paths to use on either system? Thanks

File paths are of two types: Absolute File Paths. Relative File Paths.
Cross-platform if you want Node. js is cross-platform meaning it works on Windows, OSX and Linux. A large number of the Node. js community write Node. js on OSX and then deploy to Linux servers.
A path is either relative or absolute. An absolute path always contains the root element and the complete directory list required to locate the file. For example, /home/sally/statusReport is an absolute path. All of the information needed to locate the file is contained in the path string.
Alternatively known as the pathname, the current path or path is the complete location or name of where a computer, file, device, or web page is located.
Unless you're using absolute paths, there's no need to translate at all - Windows automatically converts forward slashes into backslashes, so if you use relative paths with forward slash path separators, you'll be golden. You should really avoid absolute paths if at all possible.
