Although these formats are quite different, wxFileName tries +to treat them all in the sam 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. + +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.
