#include <sys/stat.h>

void _fixpath(const char *in_path, char *out_path);

@subheading Description

This function canonacalizes the input path @var{in_path} and stores the
result in the buffer pointed to by @var{out_path}.

The path is fixed by removing consecutive and trailing slashes, making
the path absolute if it's relative, removing "." components, collapsing
".." components, adding a drive specifier if needed, and converting all
slashes to '/'.

@subheading Return Value

None.

@subheading Example

@example
char oldpath[100], newpath[100];
scanf(oldpath);
_fixpath(oldpath, newpath);
printf("that really is %s\n", newpath);
@end example
