The result is a Number, which is |TRUE| when {path} is an absolute path. On Unix, a path is considered absolute when it starts with '/'. On MS-Windows, it is considered absolute when it starts with an optional drive prefix and is followed by a '' or '/'. UNC paths are always absolute. Example: echo isabsolutepath('/usr/share/') " 1 echo isabsolutepath('./foobar') " 0 echo isabsolutepath('C:\Windows') " 1 echo isabsolutepath('foobar') " 0 echo isabsolutepath('\remote\file') " 1 Can also be used as a |method|: GetName()->isabsolutepath()
