113- Split the pathname \var {p} in a pair \code {(\var {head}, \var {tail})}, where
114- \var {tail} is the last pathname component and \var {head} is
115- everything leading up to that. If \var {p} ends in a slash (except if
116- it is the root), the trailing slash is removed and the operation
117- applied to the result; otherwise, \code {join( \var {head}, \var {tail})} equals
118- \var {p}. The \var {tail} part never contains a slash . Some boundary
119- cases: \ if \var {p} is the root, \var {head} equals \var {p} and
120- \var {tail} is empty; if \ varp} is empty, both \var {head} and
121- \var {tail} are empty; if \var {p} contains no slash, \var {head} is
122- empty and \var {tail} equals \var {p} .
113+ Split the pathname \var {p} in a pair \code {(\var {head}, \var {tail})},
114+ where \var {tail} is the last pathname component and \var {head} is
115+ everything leading up to that. The \var {tail} part will never contain
116+ a slash; if \var {p} ends in a slash, \var {tail} will be empty. If
117+ there is no slash in \var {p}, \var {head} will be empty. If \var {p} is
118+ empty, both \var {head} and \var {tail} are empty . Trailing slashes are
119+ stripped from \var {head} unless it is the root (one or more slashes
120+ only). In nearly all cases, \code {join( \ varhead}, \var {tail})}
121+ equals \var {p} (the only exception being when there were multiple
122+ slashes separating \var {head} from \var {tail}) .
