The blue-box contract on `build-path/convention-type` in the documentation does not encode all of the constraints of the function (in much the same way that the blue-box contract on `vector-ref` doesn't encode the constraint that the second argument is in bounds). For both `build-path` and `build-path/convention-type`, strings are always treated as paths for the current system --- and they're converted to path values based on the current system's locale --- so they cannot be mixed with paths using a different convention. You can use byte strings and `bytes->path` to construct a path for any convention. Unlike strings, byte strings can reliably encode paths. > Also, while we're at it, what do REL and RED stand for in the docs? > https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/windowspaths.html They're short for "relative" and "relative to a drive", respectively. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
