isUNCPath

Test if a value is a UNC path.

Usage

var isUNCPath = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-unc-path' );

isUNCPath( value )

Tests if a value is a UNC path.

var bool = isUNCPath( '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz' );
// returns true

bool = isUNCPath( '/foo/bar/baz' );
// returns false

Examples

var isUNCPath = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-unc-path' );

var path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz:a:b';
var bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz::b';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz:a';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\server\\share';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\server\\\\share';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '\\\\\\\\server\\share';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = 'beep boop \\\\server\\share';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '\\\\server';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '\\';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '\\\\server\\share\\';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz:';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz:a:';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '//server/share';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = '/foo/bar';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = 'foo/bar';
bool = isUNCPath( path );
// returns false

path = './foo/bar';

CLI

Usage

Usage: is-unc-path [options] [<path>]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.

Notes

If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the split option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

# Not escaped...
$ echo -n $'/foo/../bar\n\\\\server\\share\\foo' | is-unc-path --split /\r?\n/
# Escaped...
$ echo -n $'/foo/../bar\n\\\\server\\share\\foo' | is-unc-path --split /\\r?\\n/

The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

Examples

$ is-unc-path '\\\\server\\share\\foo'
true

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n '\\\\server\\share\\foo' | is-unc-path
true

By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split option.

$ echo -n '\\\\server\\share\\foo'\t/foo/../bar' | is-unc-path --split '\t'
true
false
