Features
---------
- Sanitize/Validate a string as a:
- file name
- file path
- Sanitize will do:
- Remove invalid characters for a target platform
- Replace reserved names for a target platform
- Normalize
- Remove unprintable characters
- Argument validator/sanitizer for ``argparse`` and ``click``
- Multi platform support:
- ``Linux``
- ``Windows``
- ``macOS``
- ``POSIX``: POSIX-compliant systems (Linux, macOS, etc.)
- ``universal``: platform independent
- Multibyte character support

CLI tool
---------
You can find this package's command line interface tool at the `pathvalidate-cli `__ repository.

Examples
==========
Sanitize a filename
---------------------
:Sample Code:
.. code-block:: python

from pathvalidate import sanitize_filename

fname = "fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.t {sanitize_filename(fname)}\n")

fname = "\0_a*b:ce%f/(g)h+i_0.txt"
print(f"{fname} -> {sanitize_filename(fname)}\n")

:Output:
.. code-block::

fi:l*e/p"a?t>h|.t filepath.txt

_a*b:ce%f/(g)h+i_0.txt -> _abcde%f(g)h+i_0.txt

The default target ``platform`` is ``universal``.
i.e. the sanitized file name is valid for any platform.

Sanitize a filepath
---------------------
:Sample Code:
.. code-block:: python

from pathvalidate import sanitize_filepath

fpath = "fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.t {sanitize_filepath(fpath)}\n")

fpath = "\0_a*b:ce%f/(g)h+i_0.txt"
print(f"{fpath} -> {sanitize_filepath(fpath)}\n")

:Output:
.. code-block::

fi:l*e/p"a?t>h|.t file/path.txt

_a*b:ce%f/(g)h+i_0.txt -> _abcde%f/(g)h+i_0.txt

Validate a filename
---------------------
:Sample Code:
.. code-block:: python

import sys
from pathvalidate import ValidationError, validate_filename

try:
validate_filename("fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.th|.th|.t None:
if filename:
click.echo(f"filename: {filename}")
if filepath:
click.echo(f"filepath: {filepath}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
cli()

:Output:
.. code-block::

$ ./examples/click_validate.py --filename ab
filename: ab
$ ./examples/click_validate.py --filepath e?g
Usage: click_validate.py [OPTIONS]
Try 'click_validate.py --help' for help.

Error: Invalid value for '--filename': [PV1100] invalid characters found: invalids=('?'), value='e?g', platform=Windows

filename/filepath sanitizer for ``click``
-------------------------------------------
:Sample Code:
.. code-block:: python

import click

from pathvalidate.click import sanitize_filename_arg, sanitize_filepath_arg

@click.command()
@click.option("--filename", callback=sanitize_filename_arg)
@click.option("--filepath", callback=sanitize_filepath_arg)
def cli(filename, filepath):
if filename:
click.echo(f"filename: {filename}")
if filepath:
click.echo(f"filepath: {filepath}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
cli()

:Output:
.. code-block::

$ ./examples/click_sanitize.py --filename a/b
filename: ab
