- * Performs the following normalizations on path, storing the result in buf:
- * - Removes trailing slashes.
- * - Removes empty components.
+ * Performs the following normalizations on src, storing the result in dst:
+ * - Ensures that components are separated by '/' (Windows only)
+ * - Squashes sequences of '/'.
  * - Removes "." components.
  * - Removes ".." components, and the components the precede them.
- * "" and paths that contain only slashes are normalized to "/".
- * Returns the length of the output.
