Method pathname.prefixLongPath

---

If path is full path (see pathname.isFullPath) and does not start with @"\\?\", prepends @"\\?\". If path is network path (like @"\\computer\folder\..."), makes like @"\\?\UNC\computer\folder\...".

public static string prefixLongPath(string path)

Parameters

path  (string) Path. Can be null. Must not start with "%environmentVariable%". This function does not expand it. See pathname.expand.

Returns

Remarks

Windows API kernel functions support extended-length paths, ie longer than 259 characters. But the path must have this prefix. Windows API shell functions don't support it.
