 *
 *  Notes on multi-platform development
 *  -----------------------------------
 *  This is important:
 *  (1) With the exception of splitPathAtDirectory(), splitPathAtExtension()
  *     and genPathname(), all input pathnames must have unix separators.
 *  (2) On macOS, iOS and Windows, for read or write to "/tmp/..."
 *      the filename is rewritten to use the OS specific temp directory:
 *         /tmp  ==>   [Temp]/...
 *  (3) This filename rewrite, along with the conversion from unix
 *      to OS specific pathnames, happens in genPathname().
 *  (4) Use fopenReadStream() and fopenWriteStream() to open files,
 *      because these use genPathname() to find the platform-dependent
 *      filenames.  Likewise for l_binaryRead() and l_binaryWrite().
 *  (5) For moving, copying and removing files and directories that are in
 *      subdirectories of /tmp, use the lept_*() file system shell wrappers:
 *         lept_mkdir(), lept_rmdir(), lept_mv(), lept_rm() and lept_cp().
 *  (6) For programs use the lept_fopen(), lept_fclose(), lept_calloc()
 *      and lept_free() C library wrappers.  These work properly on Windows,
 *      where the same DLL must perform complementary operations on
 *      file streams (open/close) and heap memory (malloc/free).
 *  (7) Why read and write files to temp directories?
 *      The library needs the ability to read and write ephemeral
 *      files to default places, both for generating debugging output
 *      and for supporting regression tests.  Applications also need
 *      this ability for debugging.
 *  (8) Why do the pathname rewrite on macOS, iOS and Windows?
 *      The goal is to have the library, and programs using the library,
 *      run on multiple platforms without changes.  The location of
 *      temporary files depends on the platform as well as the user's
 *      configuration.  Temp files on some operating systems are in some
 *      directory not known a priori.  To make everything work seamlessly on
 *      any OS, every time you open a file for reading or writing,
 *      use a special function such as fopenReadStream() or
 *      fopenWriteStream(); these call genPathname() to ensure that
 *      if it is a temp file, the correct path is used.  To indicate
 *      that this is a temp file, the application is written with the
 *      root directory of the path in a canonical form: "/tmp".
 *  (9) Why is it that multi-platform directory functions like lept_mkdir()
 *      and lept_rmdir(), as well as associated file functions like
 *      lept_rm(), lept_mv() and lept_cp(), only work in the temp dir?
 *      These functions were designed to provide easy manipulation of
 *      temp files.  The restriction to temp files is for safety -- to
 *      prevent an accidental deletion of important files.  For example,
 *      lept_rmdir() first deletes all files in a specified subdirectory
 *      of temp, and then removes the directory.

 *                         separator character, or NULL if end of cstr.
 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) This is a thread-safe implementation of strtok.
 *      (2) It has the same interface as strtok_r.
 *      (3) It differs from strtok_r in usage in two respects:
 *          (a) the input string is not altered
 *          (b) each returned substring is newly allocated and must
 *              be freed after use.
 *      (4) Let me repeat that.  This is "safe" because the input
 *          string is not altered and because each returned string
 *          is newly allocated on the heap.
 *      (5) It is here because, surprisingly, some C libraries don't
 *          include strtok_r.
 *      (6) Important usage points:
 *          ~ Input the string to be parsed on the first invocation.
 *          ~ Then input NULL after that; the value returned in saveptr
 *            is used in all subsequent calls.
 *      (7) This is only slightly slower than strtok_r.

 *      (1) Use unix-style pathname separators ('/').
 *      (2) %fname can be the entire path, or part of the path containing
 *          at least one directory, or a tail without a directory, or NULL.
 *      (3) It produces a path that strips multiple slashes to a single
 *          slash, joins %dir and %fname by a slash, and has no trailing
 *          slashes (except in the cases where %dir == "/" and
 *          %fname == NULL, or v.v.).
 *      (4) If both %dir and %fname are null, produces an empty string.
 *      (5) Neither %dir nor %fname can begin with '..'.
 *      (6) The result is not canonicalized or tested for correctness:
 *          garbage in (e.g., /&%), garbage out.
 *      (7) Examples:
 *             //tmp// + //abc/  -->  /tmp/abc
 *             tmp/ + /abc/      -->  tmp/abc
 *             tmp/ + abc/       -->  tmp/abc
 *             /tmp/ + ///       -->  /tmp
 *             /tmp/ + NULL      -->  /tmp

 * Notes:
 *      (1) This function generates actual paths in the following ways:

 *            * from a single path full path, placed in %dir, with
 *              %fname == NULL.
 *            * from the name of a file in the local directory placed in
 *              %fname, with %dir == NULL.
 *            * if in a "/tmp" directory and on iOS, macOS or Windows,
 *              the OS specific temp directory is used.
 *      (2) This does an automatic directory translation for operating
 *          systems that use a different path for /tmp.
 *          That path is determined
 *             * on Windows: by GetTempPath()
 *             * on macOS, iOS: by confstr() (see man page)
 *      (3) On unix, the TMPDIR variable is ignored.  No rewriting
 *          of temp directories is permitted.
 *      (4) There are four cases for the input:
 *          (a) %dir is a directory and %fname is defined: result is a
 *              full path
 *          (b) %dir is a directory and %fname is null: result is a directory
 *          (c) %dir is a full path and %fname is null: result is a full path
 *          (d) %dir is null or an empty string: start in the current dir;
 *              result is a full path
 *      (5) In all cases, the resulting pathname is not terminated with a slash
 *      (6) The caller is responsible for freeing the returned pathname.

 *      (6) The tail of the filename has a '.', so that cygwin interprets

 *      (7) On unix, whenever possible use tmpfile() instead.  tmpfile()
