/** @brief Split a file system path into individual components.
 *
 * Split a file system path into individual components.  Return a pointer to an
 * array of char pointers, each array entry is a pointer to a copy of the
 * component. As a special case if the path begins with / then the first
 * component is "/" so the caller can identify the pah as absolute with the
 * first component being the root. The last entry in the array is \c NULL serving
 * as a termination sentinel. An optional integer count parameter can be
 * provided, which if non-NULL will have the number of components written into
 * it. Thus the caller can iterate on the array until it sees a \c NULL pointer or
 * iterate count times indexing the array.
 *
 * The caller is responsible for calling \c free() on the returned array.  This
 * frees both the array of component pointers and the copies of each component
 * in one operation because the copy of each component is stored in the same
 * allocation block.
 *
 * The original path parameter is not modified.
 *
 * In the event of an error \c NULL is returned and count (if specified) will be -1.
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 * \code
 * char **components, **component;
 * int i;
 *
 * components = split_path(path, NULL);
 * for (component = components; *component; component++)
 *     printf("\"%s\" ", *component);
 * free(components);
 * \endcode
 *
 * -OR-
 *
 * \code
 * components = split_path(path, &count);
 * for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
 *     printf("\"%s\" ", components[i]);
 * free(components);
 * \endcode
 *
 * @param[in]   path    The original path
 * @param[out]  count   The number of components the path was split into
 *
 * @return An array of char pointers, each array entry is a pointer to a
 * copy of the component or NULL on error.

/** @brief Normalizes a path
 *
 * Normalizes a path copying the resulting normalized path into the buffer
 * \c normalized_path whose length is \c normalized_size.
 *
 * A path is normalized when:
 * \li only 1 slash separates all path components
 * \li there are no \c . path components (except if \c . is the only component)
 * \li there are no \c .. path components
 *
 * The input path may either be an absolute path or a path fragment.
 *
 * As a special case if the input path is \c NULL, the empty string \c "",
 * or \c "." the returned normalized path will be \c ".".
 *
 * \c ".." path components point to the parent directory which effectively
 * means poping the parent off the path. But what happens when there are
 * more \c ".." path components than ancestors in the path? The answer depends
 * on whether the path is an absolute path or a path fragment. If the path is
 * absolute then the extra \c ".." components which would move above the root
 * (/) are simply ignored. This effectively limits the path to the root.
 * However if the path is not absolute, rather it is a path fragment, and
 * there are more \c ".." components than ancestors which can be "popped off"
 * then as many \c ".." components will be popped off the fragement as
 * possible without changing the meaning of the path fragment. In this case
 * some extra \c ".." components will be left in the path and the function
 * will return the error \c ERROR_COULD_NOT_NORMALIZE_PATH_FULLY. However the
 * function will still normalize as much of the path fragment as is possible.
 * The behavior of \c ".." components when the input path is a fragment is
 * adopted because after normalizing a path fragment then the normalized path
 * fragment if made absolute should reference the same file system name as if
 * the unnormalized fragment were made absolute. Note this also means
 * \c ERROR_COULD_NOT_NORMALIZE_PATH_FULLY will never be returned if the input
 * path is absolute.
 *
 * @returns \c SUCCESS if successful, non-zero error code otherwise. Possible
 * errors:
 * \li \c ENOBUFS      If the buffer space is too small
 * \li \c ERROR_COULD_NOT_NORMALIZE_PATH_FULLY If not all \c ".." path components could be removed

 *

 * optionally the count of how many path components were common between the
 * two paths (if \c common_count is non-NULL). Please note that for absolute
 * paths, the \c "/" root prefix is treated as a common components, so the
 * paths \c "/usr/lib" and \c "/usr/share" would have two common components -
 * \c "/" and \c "/usr".
 *
 * Contrary to some other implementations, \c common_path_prefix() works on
 * path components, not characters, which guarantees at least some level of
 * sanity of the returned prefixes (for example, the common prefix of
 * \c "/usr/share" and \c "/usr/src" would be \c "/usr")
