isPathInside(childPath, parentPath)
Note that relative paths are resolved against process.cwd() to make them absolute.
Important: This package is meant for use with path manipulation. It does not check if the paths exist nor does it resolve symlinks. You should not use this as a security mechanism to guard against access to certain places on the file system.
childPath
