A path is considered absolute if it has both a root and (if the flavour allows) a drive\n\nReturn whether or not this path is relative to the other path.\n\nThis method is string-based; it neither accesses the filesystem nor treats \"..\" segments specially. The following code is equivalent\n\nCalling this method is equivalent to combining the path with each of the given pathsegments in turn\n\nMatch this path against the provided glob-style pattern. Return True if matching is successful, False otherwise. For example\n\nAs with other methods, case-sensitivity follows platform defaults\n\nSet case_sensitive to True or False to override this behaviour.\n\nMatch this path against the provided non-recursive glob-style pattern. Return True if matching is successful, False otherwise.\n\nThis method is similar to ~PurePath.full_match, but empty patterns aren't allowed (ValueError is raised), the recursive wildcard \"\" isn't supported (it acts like non-recursive \"\"), and if a relative pattern is provided, then matching is done from the right\n\nCompute a version of this path relative to the path represented by other. If it's impossible, ValueError is raised …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
