# append(_:)

Append a `component` on to the end of this path.

```
mutating func append(_ component: FilePath.Component)
```

## Discussion

Example:

```
var path: FilePath = "/tmp"
let sub: FilePath = "foo/./bar/../baz/."
for comp in sub.components.filter({ $0.kind != .currentDirectory }) {
  path.append(comp)
}
// path is "/tmp/foo/bar/../baz"
```
