\section{\class{wxFileName}}\label{wxfilename}
File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function\rtfsp
\helpref{IsCaseSensitive}{wxfilenameiscasesensitive} allows to determine this.
-The rules for determining if the file name is absolute or relative also depends
-on the file name format and the only portable way to answer to this question is
-to use \helpref{IsAbsolute}{wxfilenameisabsolute} method. To ensure that the
-filename is absolute you may use \helpref{MakeAbsolute}{wxfilenamemakeabsolute}.
-There is also an inverse function
-\helpref{MakeRelativeTo}{wxfilenamemakerelativeto} which undoes what
-\helpref{Normalize(wxPATH\_NORM\_DOTS)}{wxfilenamenormalize} does.

+question is to use \helpref{IsAbsolute}{wxfilenameisabsolute} or\rtfsp
+\helpref{IsRelative}{wxfilenameisrelative} method. Note that on Windows, "X:"
+refers to the current working directory on drive X. Therefore, a wxFileName
+instance constructed from for example "X:dir/file.ext" treats the portion
+beyond drive separator as being relative to that directory.

Other functions returning information about the file format provided by this
class are \helpref{GetVolumeSeparator}{wxfilenamegetvolumeseparator},\rtfsp
\helpref{IsPathSeparator}{wxfilenameispathseparator}.

\membersection{File name construction}\label{filenameconstruction}
-TODO.
+You can initialize a wxFileName instance using one of the following functions:
+
+\helpref{wxFileName constructors}{wxfilenamewxfilename}\\
+\helpref{Assign}{wxfilenameassign}\\
+\helpref{AssignCwd}{wxfilenameassigncwd}\\
+\helpref{AssignDir}{wxfilenameassigndir}\\
+\helpref{AssignHomeDir}{wxfilenameassignhomedir}\\
+\helpref{AssignHomeTempFileName}{wxfilenameassigntempfilename}\\
+\helpref{operator $=$}{wxfilenameoperatorassign}
\membersection{File tests}\label{filetests}
-Before doing the other tests you should use \helpref{IsOk}{wxfilenameisok} to
-verify that the filename is well defined. If it is,
-\helpref{FileExists}{wxfilenamefileexists} can be used to test if a file with
-such name exists and \helpref{DirExists}{wxfilenamedirexists} - if a directory
-with this name exists.

+\helpref{FileExists}{wxfilenamefileexists} can be used to test whether a file

File names should be compared using \helpref{SameAs}{wxfilenamesameas} method
-or \helpref{$==$}{wxfilenameoperatorequal}.
+or \helpref{operator $==$}{wxfilenameoperatorequal}.
+
+For testing basic access modes, you can use:

+\helpref{IsDirWritable}{wxfilenameisdirwritable}\\
+\helpref{IsDirReadable}{wxfilenameisdirreadable}\\
+\helpref{IsFileWritable}{wxfilenameisfilewritable}\\
+\helpref{IsFileReadable}{wxfilenameisfilereadable}\\

+\func{static wxULongLong}{GetSize}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}
+
+Returns the size of this file (first form) or the size of the given file (second form).

component is. The old contents of the strings pointed to by these parameters
will be overwritten in any case (if the pointers are not {\tt NULL}).
+Note that for a filename ``foo.'' the extension is present, as indicated by the

+\arg{hasExt} instead of relying on testing whether \arg{ext} is empty or not.
