get_path_info
Analyzes file paths to determine properties like absolute/relative status, resolved location, parent directory, existence, accessibility, and safety validation for CSV operations.
Instructions
Get detailed information about a file path, supporting both relative and absolute paths.
Args:
filepath: The file path to analyze (can be relative or absolute)
Returns:
Dictionary with comprehensive path information including:
- Whether the path is absolute or relative
- Resolved path (following symlinks)
- Parent directory information
- File existence and accessibility
- Safety validation for absolute paths
