The function os_file_dirname returns a directory component of a
null-terminated pathname string.  In the usual case, dirname returns
the string up to, but not including, the final '/', and basename
is the component following the final '/'.  Trailing '/' charac­
ters are not counted as part of the pathname.

If path does not contain a slash, dirname returns the string ".".

Concatenating the string returned by dirname, a "/", and the basename
yields a complete pathname.

The return value is  a copy of the directory component of the pathname.
The copy is allocated from heap. It is the caller responsibility
to free it after it is no longer needed.

The following list of examples (taken from SUSv2) shows the strings
returned by dirname and basename for different paths:
