# Adapted `splitdrive` function from the following commits in Python source
# code:
# 5a607a3ee5e81bdcef3f886f9d20c1376a533df4 (2009): Initial UNC handling (by Mark Hammond)
# 2ba0fd5767577954f331ecbd53596cd8035d7186 (2022): Support for "UNC"-device paths (by Barney Gale)
#
# FAQ: Why use `strip` below? `\\?\UNC` is the start of a "UNC symbolic link",
# which is a special UNC form. Running `strip` differentiates `\\?\UNC\` (a UNC
# symbolic link) from e.g. `\\?\UNCD` (UNCD is the server in the UNC path).
func splitDrive*(p: string): tuple[drive, path: string] =
  ## Splits a Windows path into a drive and path part. The drive can be e.g.
  ## `C:`. It can also be a UNC path (`\\server\drive\path`).
  ##
  ## The equivalent `splitDrive` for POSIX systems always returns empty drive.
  ## Therefore this proc is only necessary on DOS-like file systems (together
  ## with Nim's `doslikeFileSystem` conditional variable).
  ##
  ## This proc's use case is to extract `path` such that it can be manipulated
  ## like a POSIX path.
  runnableExamples:
    doAssert splitDrive("C:") == ("C:", "")
    doAssert splitDrive(r"C:\") == (r"C:", r"\")
    doAssert splitDrive(r"\\server\drive\foo\bar") == (r"\\server\drive", r"\foo\bar")
    doAssert splitDrive(r"\\?\UNC\server\share\dir") == (r"\\?\UNC\server\share", r"\dir")
