Take a look at the code itself - it's pretty self explanatory. Native
means precisely that - it uses the native OS format (which reading the
code is windows or posix in 1.33 - see the checker functions)
Boost/filesystem/Path.hpp
Have to agree on the docs though - very hard to read or find anything
you want, probably because of the TR1 requirement being unreadable in
the first place!
