tf.io.gfile.join

Join one or more path components intelligently.

TensorFlow specific filesystems will be joined like a url (using "/" as the path seperator) on all platforms:

On Windows or Linux/Unix-like:

>>> tf.io.gfile.join("gcs://folder", "file.py")
'gcs://folder/file.py'
tf.io.gfile.join("ram://folder", "file.py")
'ram://folder/file.py'

But the native filesystem is handled just like os.path.join:

path = tf.io.gfile.join("folder", "file.py")
if os.name == "nt":
  expected = "folder\\file.py"  # Windows
else:
  expected = "folder/file.py"  # Linux/Unix-like
path == expected
True

path string, path to a directory
paths string, additional paths to concatenate

path the joined path.
