60 Return the leading directories part of FILE, allocated with malloc.
61 Works properly even if there are trailing slashes (by effectively
62 ignoring them). Return NULL on failure.
63
64 If lstat (FILE) would succeed, then { chdir (dir_name (FILE));
65 lstat (base_name (FILE)); } will access the same file. Likewise,
66 if the sequence { chdir (dir_name (FILE));
67 rename (base_name (FILE), "foo"); } succeeds, you have renamed FILE
68 to "foo" in the same directory FILE was in. */
