2.3.9. - Tilde Expansion
The tilde expansion feature for path names replaces the tilde character at the start of a path name, as in
HREF=undefanchor#tilde>undefsection/ , with the current user's home directory path,
and replaces
HREF=undefanchor#tilde>undefsectionuser/ with any
user
's
home directory path.
These spec commands and functions do tilde expansion on path-name arguments:
chdir()
, unix()
, file_info()
, open()
, close()
, on()
, off()
, dofile()
, qdofile()
, getline()
, fprintf()
, array_dump()
, array_read()
, data_dump()
, data_read()
, fmt_read()
, fmt_write()
, fmt_close()
and
h5_file()
. In addition, the spec server will do tilde expansion
on the
filename
received when a client registers for
output/filename
property events.
