Any iterable can now be passed, rather than just sequences.
-.. function:: commonprefix(list)
+.. function:: commonprefix(list, /)
Return the longest path prefix (taken character-by-character) that is a
prefix of all paths in *list*. If *list* is empty, return the empty string
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
-.. function:: getatime(path)
+.. function:: getatime(path, /)
Return the time of last access of *path*. The return value is a floating-point number giving
the number of seconds since the epoch (see the :mod:`time` module). Raise
:exc:`OSError` if the file does not exist or is inaccessible.
-.. function:: getmtime(path)
+.. function:: getmtime(path, /)
Return the time of last modification of *path*. The return value is a floating-point number
giving the number of seconds since the epoch (see the :mod:`time` module).
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
-.. function:: getctime(path)
+.. function:: getctime(path, /)
Return the system's ctime which, on some systems (like Unix) is the time of the
last metadata change, and, on others (like Windows), is the creation time for *path*.
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
-.. function:: getsize(path)
+.. function:: getsize(path, /)
Return the size, in bytes, of *path*. Raise :exc:`OSError` if the file does
not exist or is inaccessible.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
-.. function:: join(path, *paths)
+.. function:: join(path, /, *paths)
Join one or more path segments intelligently. The return value is the
concatenation of *path* and all members of *\*paths*, with exactly one
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
-.. function:: realpath(path, *, strict=False)
+.. function:: realpath(path, /, *, strict=False)
Return the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic
links encountered in the path (if they are supported by the operating
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
-.. function:: samefile(path1, path2)
+.. function:: samefile(path1, path2, /)
Return ``True`` if both pathname arguments refer to the same file or directory.
This is determined by the device number and i-node number and raises an
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
-.. function:: samestat(stat1, stat2)
+.. function:: samestat(stat1, stat2, /)
Return ``True`` if the stat tuples *stat1* and *stat2* refer to the same file.
These structures may have been returned by :func:`os.fstat`,
