+wxFileName currently supports the file names in the Unix, DOS/Windows, Mac OS
+and VMS formats. Although these formats are quite different, wxFileName tries
+to treat them all in the same generic way. It supposes that all file names
+consist of the following parts: the volume (also known as drive under Windows
+or device under VMS), the path which is a sequence of directory names separated
+by the \helpref{path separators}{wxfilenamegetpathseparators} and the full
+filename itself which, in turn, is composed from the base file name and the
+extension. All of the individual components of the file name may be empty and,
+for example, the volume name is always empty under Unix, but if they are all
+empty simultaneously, the filename object is considered to be in an invalid
+state and \helpref{IsOk}{wxfilenameisok} returns {\tt false} for it.

 
 

-\membersection{wxFileName::wxFileName}\label{wxfilenamewxfilenamedef}
+File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function\rtfsp
+\helpref{IsCaseSensitive}{wxfilenameiscasesensitive} allows to determine this.

 
 

-\func{}{wxFileName}{\void}
+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.
