FilePath is:package

Library for manipulating FilePaths in a cross platform way. This package provides functionality for manipulating FilePath values, and is shipped with GHC. It provides two variants for filepaths:

legacy filepaths: type FilePath = String
operating system abstracted filepaths (OsPath): internally unpinned ShortByteString (platform-dependent encoding)

It is recommended to use OsPath when possible, because it is more correct. For each variant there are three main modules:

System.FilePath.Posix / System.OsPath.Posix manipulates POSIX/Linux style FilePath values (with / as the path separator).
System.FilePath.Windows / System.OsPath.Windows manipulates Windows style FilePath values (with either \ or / as the path separator, and deals with drives).
System.FilePath / System.OsPath for dealing with current platform-specific filepaths

For more powerful string manipulation of OsPath, you can use the os-string package (OsPath is a type synonym for OsString). An introduction into the new API can be found in this blog post. Code examples for the new API can be found here.

package FilePather

Uses

Not on Stackage, so not searched. Functions on System.FilePath

package filepath-bytestring

Uses

Library for manipulating RawFilePaths in a cross platform way. This package provides functionality for manipulating RawFilePath values. It can be used as a drop in replacement for the filepath library to get the benefits of using ByteStrings. It provides three modules:

System.FilePath.Posix.ByteString manipulates POSIX/Linux style RawFilePath values (with / as the path separator).
System.FilePath.Windows.ByteString manipulates Windows style RawFilePath values (with either \ or / as the path separator, and deals with drives).
System.FilePath.ByteString is an alias for the module appropriate to your platform.

All three modules provide the same API, and the same documentation (calling out differences in the different variants). This package is now deprecated, since filepath 1.4.100.0 provides an OsPath type that is based on a bytestring. See https:/hasufell.github.ioposts/2022-06-29-fixing-haskell-filepaths.html
