    @class wxFileName
    @wxheader{filename.h}

    wxFileName encapsulates a file name. This class serves two purposes: first, it
    provides the functions to split the file names into components and to recombine
    these components in the full file name which can then be passed to the OS file
    functions (and @ref overview_filefunctions "wxWidgets functions" wrapping them).
    Second, it includes the functions for working with the files itself. Note that
    to change the file data you should use wxFile class instead.
    wxFileName provides functions for working with the file attributes.

    When working with directory names (i.e. without filename and extension)
    make sure not to misuse the file name part of this class with the last
    directory. Instead initialize the wxFileName instance like this:

    @code
    wxFileName dirname( "C:\mydir", "" );
    MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
    @endcode

    The same can be done using the static method wxFileName::DirName:

    @code
    wxFileName dirname = wxFileName::DirName( "C:\mydir" );
    MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
    @endcode

    Accordingly, methods dealing with directories or directory names
    like wxFileName::IsDirReadable use
    wxFileName::GetPath whereas methods dealing
    with file names like wxFileName::IsFileReadable
    use wxFileName::GetFullPath.

    If it is not known wether a string contains a directory name or
    a complete file name (such as when interpreting user input) you need to use
    the static function wxFileName::DirExists
    (or its identical variants wxDir::Exists and
    wxDirExists()) and construct the wxFileName
    instance accordingly. This will only work if the directory actually exists,
    of course:

    @code
    wxString user_input;
    // get input from user

    wxFileName fname;
    if (wxDirExists(user_input))
        fname.AssignDir( user_input );
    else
        fname.Assign( user_input );
    @endcode

    @library{wxbase}
    @category{file}

    @see wxFileName::GetCwd

    /**
        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 @ref getpathseparators() "path separators" 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 IsOk() returns @false for it.
        File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function
        IsCaseSensitive() allows to determine this.
        The rules for determining whether the file name is absolute or relative also
        depend on the file name format and the only portable way to answer this
        question is to use IsAbsolute() or
        IsRelative() 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.
        To ensure that the filename is absolute, you may use
        MakeAbsolute(). There is also an inverse
        function MakeRelativeTo() which undoes
        what @ref normalize() Normalize(wxPATH_NORM_DOTS) does.
        Other functions returning information about the file format provided by this
        class are GetVolumeSeparator(),
        IsPathSeparator().

    /**
        Before doing other tests, you should use IsOk() to
        verify that the filename is well defined. If it is,
        FileExists() can be used to test whether a file
        with such name exists and DirExists() can be used
        to test for directory existence.
        File names should be compared using SameAs() method
        or @ref operatorequal() "operator ==".

        IsDirWritable()
