_splitpath_s, _wsplitpath_s

Breaks a path name into components. These are versions of _splitpath, _wsplitpath with security enhancements as described in Security Features in the CRT.

errno_t _splitpath_s(
   const char * path,
   char * drive,
   size_t driveNumberOfElements,
   char * dir,
   size_t dirNumberOfElements,
   char * fname,
   size_t nameNumberOfElements,
   char * ext, 
   size_t extNumberOfElements
);
errno_t _wsplitpath_s(
   const wchar_t * path,
   wchar_t * drive,

errno_t _splitpath_s(
   const char *path,
   char (&drive)[drivesize],
   char (&dir)[dirsize],
   char (&fname)[fnamesize],
   char (&ext)[extsize]
); // C++ only
template <size_t drivesize, size_t dirsize, size_t fnamesize, size_t extsize>
errno_t _wsplitpath_s(
   const wchar_t *path,

   wchar_t (&dir)[dirsize],
   wchar_t (&fname)[fnamesize],
   wchar_t (&ext)[extsize]
); // C++ only

Parameters

  • [in] path
    Full path.

  • [out] drive
    Drive letter, followed by a colon (:). You can pass NULL for this parameter if you do not need the drive letter.

  • [in] driveNumberOfElements
    The size of the drive buffer in single-byte or wide characters. If drive is NULL, this value must be 0.

  • [out] dir
    Directory path, including trailing slash. Forward slashes ( / ), backslashes ( \ ), or both may be used. You can pass NULL for this parameter if you do not need the directory path.

  • [in] dirNumberOfElements
    The size of the dir buffer in single-byte or wide characters. If dir is NULL, this value must be 0.

  • [out] fname
    Base filename (without extension). You can pass NULL for this parameter if you do not need the filename.

  • [in] nameNumberOfElements
    The size of the fname buffer in single-byte or wide characters. If fname is NULL, this value must be 0.

  • [out] ext
    Filename extension, including leading period (.).You can pass NULL for this parameter if you do not need the filename extension.

  • [in] extNumberOfElements
    The size of ext buffer in single-byte or wide characters. If ext is NULL, this value must be 0.

Return Value

Zero if successful; an error code on failure.

Error Conditions

Condition

Return Value

path is NULL

EINVAL

drive is NULL, driveNumberOfElements is non-zero

EINVAL

drive is non-NULL, driveNumberOfElements is zero

EINVAL

dir is NULL, dirNumberOfElements is non-zero

EINVAL

dir is non-NULL, dirNumberOfElements is zero

EINVAL

fname is NULL, nameNumberOfElements is non-zero

EINVAL

fname is non-NULL, nameNumberOfElements is zero

EINVAL

ext is NULL, extNumberOfElements is non-zero

EINVAL

ext is non-NULL, extNumberOfElements is zero

EINVAL

If any of the above conditions occurs, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation . If execution is allowed to continue, these functions set errno to EINVAL and return EINVAL.

If any of the buffers is too short to hold the result, these functions clear all the buffers to empty strings, set errno to ERANGE, and return ERANGE.

Remarks

The _splitpath_s function breaks a path into its four components. _splitpath_s automatically handles multibyte-character string arguments as appropriate, recognizing multibyte-character sequences according to the multibyte code page currently in use. _wsplitpath_s is a wide-character version of _splitpath_s; the arguments to _wsplitpath_sare wide-character strings. These functions behave identically otherwise

Each component of the full path is stored in a separate buffer; the manifest constants _MAX_DRIVE, _MAX_DIR, _MAX_FNAME, and _MAX_EXT (defined in STDLIB.H) specify the maximum allowable size for each file component. File components larger than the corresponding manifest constants cause heap corruption.

The following table lists the values of the manifest constants.

_MAX_DRIVE

3

_MAX_DIR

256

_MAX_FNAME

256

_MAX_EXT

256

If the full path does not contain a component (for example, a filename), _splitpath_s assigns an empty string to the corresponding buffer.

In C++, using these functions is simplified by template overloads; the overloads can infer buffer length automatically, eliminating the need to specify a size argument. For more information, see Secure Template Overloads.

The debug versions of these functions first fill the buffer with 0xFD. To disable this behavior, use _CrtSetDebugFillThreshold.
