Non-portable path linter

Check that file.path() is used to construct safe and portable paths.

Usage

nonportable_path_linter(lax = TRUE)

Arguments

lax

Less stringent linting, leading to fewer false positives. If TRUE, only lint path strings, which

• contain at least two path elements, with one having at least two characters and

• contain only alphanumeric chars (including UTF-8), spaces, and win32-allowed punctuation
