Detailed Description

Generate and return .true. is the input path is an absolute Windows path (whether existing or virtual), otherwise return .false..

The definition of an absolute path on Windows is given in the details section of pm_sysPath.
In general, a Windows path is considered absolute by the procedures of this generic interface if,

1. it begins with two directory separators recognized on Windows as stored in DIR_SEP_WINDOWS_ALL (i.e., it is a UNC path), or
2. it begins with a drive letter, followed by a colon character :, followed by at least one of the directory separators recognized on Windows as stored in DIR_SEP_WINDOWS_ALL.
   

A path that begins with one of the directory separators recognized on Windows as stored in DIR_SEP_WINDOWS_ALL, is not absolute.
Such a path is recognied by Microsoft as a relative path with respect to the current drive.
This is contrary to the conventions followed by some other languages (e.g., Python).
This generic interface follows Microsoft conventions for the definition of an absolute path on Windows.
For example,

1. \paramonte is a relative path with respect to the current drive of the runtime shell.
   
2. C:paramonte is a relative path on drive C with respect to the current working directory of the runtime shell.
   

By definition, an absolute Windows path must contain at least 3 characters (or more for UNC-style absolute paths).
To check whether a path begins with a drive letter, use hasDriveLetter.

Parameters

[in]

path

: The input scalar character of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., SK, SKA, SKD , or SKU) containing an existing or virtual path. An empty input path is by definition a relative path (not absolute).

Returns

pathIsAbs : The output scalar logical of default kind LK that is .true. if and only if the input path is an absolute path based on Windows conventions.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

use pm_kind, only : LK
use pm_sysPath, only: isPathAbsWindows
logical(LK) :: pathIsAbs
 
pathIsAbs = isPathAbsWindows(path)

Remarks

The procedures under discussion are pure.

The procedures under discussion are elemental.
