Description:

Parameters:

  volume - [out] (pass null if you don't need the volume)
    If volume is not null and the path parameter begins with 
    a Windows volum specification, the value of *volume will 
    equal the input value of path.  Otherwise *volume will be nullptr.    
    A Windows volume specification can be either a single A-Z or a-z
    letter followed by a colon ( C: ) or a Windows UNC host name
    (\\MY_SERVER).
  dir - [out] (pass null if you don't need the directory)
    If dir is not null and the path parameter contains a
    directory specification, then the returned value of *dir
    will point to the character in path where the directory
    specification begins.
  fname - [out] (pass null if you don't need the file name)
    If fname is not null and the path parameter contains a
    file name specification, then the returned value of *fname
    will point to the character in path where the file name
    specification begins.
  ext - [out] (pass null if you don't need the extension)
    If ext is not null and the path parameter contains a
    file extension specification, then the returned value of
    *ext will point to the '.' character in path where the file
    extension specification begins.
Remarks:
  This function will treat a front slash ( / ) and a back slash
  ( \ ) as directory separators.  Because this function parses
  file names store in .3dm files and the .3dm file may have been
  written on a Windows computer and then read on a another
  computer, it looks for a volume specification even when the
  operating system is not Windows.
  This function will not return an directory that does not
  end with a trailing slash.
  This function will not return an empty filename and a non-empty
  extension.
  This function parses the path string according to these rules.
  It does not check the actual file system to see if the answer
  is correct.
