File and Path Function
void _splitpath(const char *path, char *drive, char *dir, char *fname, char *ext);
void _wsplitpath(const wchar_t *path, wchar_t *drive, wchar_t *dir, wchar_t *fname, wchar_t *ext);
void _tsplitpath(const TCHAR *path, TCHAR *drive, TCHAR *dir, TCHAR *fname, TCHAR *ext);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The _splitpath function splits the full path pointed to by path, into its constituent components.
It automatically handles multibyte-character string arguments as appropriate, recognizing
multibyte-character sequences according to the multibyte code page currently in use.
To ensure that there is enough room in the buffers (drive, dir,
fname and ext), set their respective sizes to
_MAX_DRIVE, _MAX_DIR, _MAX_FNAME, and _MAX_EXT characters.
For components not found in path, _splitpath will set these arguments to empty, null-terminated strings.
Pass a NULL pointer for any component that is not required.
_wsplitpath is the wide-character version of _splitpath;
its arguments are wide-character strings.
_tsplitpath is the Generic version of the function; with the
_MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either
_splitpath or _wsplitpath.
I18n Issues
Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:
Ensure that the output buffers have enough room to hold multibyte or wide-character strings, as required.
See Locale-Sensitive Length Functions for a discussion on multibyte
character sizes.
In an MBCS application, the _splitpath function depends on the multibyte code page in effect. By default, the multibyte code page
is set to the system-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system at program startup.
Use _getmbcp and _setmbcp to query or change
the current multibyte code page, respectively.
See Pathnames for a discussion of path and filename considerations in
an internationalized application.
