NAME
cleanname - clean a path nameSYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>#include <libc.h>
char* cleanname(char *filename)
DESCRIPTION
Cleanname takes a filename and by lexical processing only returns the shortest string that names the same (possibly hypothetical) file. It eliminates multiple and trailing slashes, and it lexically interprets . and .. directory components in the name. The string is overwritten in place.The shortest string cleanname can return is two bytes: the null-terminated string ".". Therefore filename must contain room for at least two bytes.
