# File::Spec::OS2(3p)

methods for OS/2 file specs

## NAME

File::Spec::OS2 - methods for OS/2 file specs

## SYNOPSIS

```
 require File::Spec::OS2; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
```

## DESCRIPTION

See File::Spec and File::Spec::Unix.  This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the semantics.

Amongst the changes made for OS/2 are...

- tmpdir

  Modifies the list of places temp directory information is looked for.

  ```
      $ENV{TMPDIR}
      $ENV{TEMP}
      $ENV{TMP}
      /tmp
      /
  ```

- splitpath

  Volumes can be drive letters or UNC sharenames (\\\\server\\share).
