PosixPath (AOServ Client 1.85.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.aoindustries.aoserv.client.linux.PosixPath

All Implemented Interfaces:

DtoFactory<PosixPath>, Internable<PosixPath>, Serializable, Comparable<PosixPath>
```
public final class PosixPath
extends Object
implements Comparable<PosixPath>, Serializable, DtoFactory<PosixPath>, Internable<PosixPath>
```
Represents a full path in POSIX style. Paths must:
- Be non-null
- Be non-empty
- Start with a /
- Not contain any null characters
- Not contain any /../ or /./ path elements
- Not end with / unless "/"
- Not end with /.. or /.
- Not contain any // in the path
TODO: This matches Path with the exception of disallowing trailing slash except for "/". Remove this redundancy? Subclass Path?
