 * Function: dirname
 *
 * Description:
 *   dirname() extracts the directory component from a null-terminated
 *   pathname string. In the usual case, dirname() returns the string up
 *   to, but not including, the final '/'. Trailing '/' characters are not
 *   counted as part of the pathname.
 *
 *   If path does not contain a slash, dirname() returns the string ".". If
 *   path is the string "/", then dirname() returns the string "/". If path
 *   is a NULL pointer or points to an empty string, then dirname() returns
 *   the string ".".
 *
 *   dirname() may modify the contents of path, so copies should be passed.
 *   dirname() may return pointers to statically allocated memory which may
 *   be overwritten by subsequent calls.
 *
 * Parameter:
 *   path The null-terminated string referring to the path to be decomposed
 *
 * Return:
 *   On success the directory component of the path is returned.
 *
