Since dos compilers (like MS and borland ones) all have the call which
does the fnsplit (it's actually an int 0x21 call I believe, hance easy to
implement), I'd say they chose to put it in DJGPP as well. Under unix,
there is no real equivalency to this due to the different file system
structure. To get the blah in /usr/local/bin/blah, you can do a
char *path_without_filename = path;
char *just_filename = strrchr(path, '/');
*just_filename++ = '\0';
This will leave you with "/usr/local/bin" (without trailing slash) in
path_without_filename, and "blah" in filename.
Hope I've helped.
