- path
- String
The path to check for validity.
Returns
True if the path is syntactically and semantically valid for the provider, or false otherwise.
Remarks
This test should not verify the existence of the item at the path. It should only perform syntactic and semantic validation of the path. For instance, for the file system provider, that path should be canonicalized, syntactically verified, and ensure that the path does not refer to a device.
