Interpret the filename as a file relative to the given file unless the filename already represents an absolute filename. Differs from new File(file, filename) in that the resulting File's path will always be a normalized, absolute pathname. Also, if it is determined that filename is context-relative, file will be discarded and the reference will be resolved using available context/state information about the filesystem.
Params:

"Normalize" the given absolute path.

This includes:

  • Uppercase the drive letter if there is one.
  • Remove redundant slashes after the drive spec.
  • Resolve all ./, .\, ../ and ..\ sequences.
  • DOS style paths that start with a drive letter will have \ as the separator.
