Split the pathname \var{p} in a pair \code{(\var{head}, \var{tail})}, where
\var{tail} is the last pathname component and \var{head} is
everything leading up to that. If \var{p} ends in a slash (except if
it is the root), the trailing slash is removed and the operation
applied to the result; otherwise, \code{join(\var{head}, \var{tail})} equals
\var{p}. The \var{tail} part never contains a slash. Some boundary
cases:\ if \var{p} is the root, \var{head} equals \var{p} and
\var{tail} is empty; if \var{p} is empty, both \var{head} and
\var{tail} are empty; if \var{p} contains no slash, \var{head} is
empty and \var{tail} equals \var{p}.
Split the pathname \var{p} in a pair \code{(\var{head}, \var{tail})},

there is no slash in \var{p}, \var{head} will be empty. If \var{p} is
empty, both \var{head} and \var{tail} are empty. Trailing slashes are
stripped from \var{head} unless it is the root (one or more slashes
only). In nearly all cases, \code{join(\var{head}, \var{tail})}
equals \var{p} (the only exception being when there were multiple
slashes separating \var{head} from \var{tail}).
