Remarks
Constructs a relative path between this path and a given path.
Relativization is the inverse of #resolve(Path) resolution. This method attempts to construct a #isAbsolute relative path that when #resolve(Path) resolved against this path, yields a path that locates the same file as the given path. For example, on UNIX, if this path is "/a/b" and the given path is "/a/b/c/d" then the resulting relative path would be "c/d". Where this path and the given path do not have a #getRoot root component, then a relative path can be constructed. A relative path cannot be constructed if only one of the paths have a root component. Where both paths have a root component then it is implementation dependent if a relative path can be constructed. If this path and the given path are #equals equal then an empty path is returned.
For any two #normalize normalized paths p and q, where q does not have a root component, <blockquote> p.relativize(p.resolve(q)).equals(q)</blockquote>
When symbolic links are supported, then whether the resulting path, when resolved against this path, yields a path that can be used to locate the Files#isSameFile same file as other is implementation dependent. For example, if this path is "/a/b" and the given path is "/a/x" then the resulting relative path may be "../x". If "b" is a symbolic link then is implementation dependent if "a/b/../x" would locate the same file as "/a/x".
