PathCchRemoveBackslash function (pathcch.h)
Removes the trailing backslash from the end of a path string.
This function differs from PathRemoveBackslash in that it accepts paths with "\", "\?" and "\?\UNC" prefixes.
Syntax
WINPATHCCHAPI HRESULT PathCchRemoveBackslash(
[in, out] PWSTR pszPath,
[in] size_t cchPath
);
Parameters
[in, out] pszPath
A pointer to the path string. When this function returns successfully, the string contains the path with any trailing backslash removed. If no trailing backslash was found, the string is unchanged.
[in] cchPath
The size of the buffer pointed to by pszPath, in characters.
Return value
This function returns S_OK if the function was successful, S_FALSE if the string was a root path or if no backslash was found, or an error code otherwise.
Remarks
This function will not remove the backslash from a root path string, such as "C:".
