Re: split a /path/filename into components

Is there a C library function that can take a path and break it into its
component parts? I think dos has one called fnsplit but i cant seem to

I'm working with Python mostly lately, so memory isn't fresh...

But wasn't there a strtok() function in C, that would split a string, based
on a given char ? Us '/' as that char, and you should be fine.
