+# libpath
+
+### A minimal (file)path library
+
+### Features
+
+- Joining multiple path parts
+- Cleaning path of duplicate separators
+- Retrieval of path's parent
+
+
+### Example
+```c
+// Compiling for *nix system (therefore the separator is '/')
+#include <stdlib.h>
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <string.h>
+#include "libpath.h"
+
+int main() {
+    char* path = path_join(4, "//here", "there", "/over/there_as_well", "file.txt");
+    printf("Joined path: %s\n", path);
+    
+    char* parent = path_parent(path);
+    printf("Parent: %s\n", parent);
+
+    path_free(path);
+
+    char* parent_of_parent = path_parent(parent);
+    printf("Parent of parent: %s\n", parent_of_parent);
+    
+    path_free(parent);
+    path_free(parent_of_parent);
+
+    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
+}
