Summary
Tests whether a path is a UNC path.
Pascal
function PathIsUNC(const Path: string): Boolean;
Parameters
| Parameters | Description |
| const Path: string | The path to test. |
Return Value
If the supplied path is a UNC path the function returns True, otherwise it returns False.
Description
PathIsUNC tests whether or not the supplied path is a valid UNC path. That is, it tests whether the path is prepended with '\', and whether the machine and share components are valid, if present. Note that a machine is considered valid if it's constructed using characters from the set [a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, _]. Other charactes, technically including the underscore, result in non-standard machine names which cannot be found on a network unless Microsoft DNS is in use (which is why PathIsUNC considers them as invalid and returns False for such paths).
