15 Arguments:
16 path
17    If you don't give entry, this is the pathname to be expanded and
18    returned; otherwise it is the pathname of the directory to be used
19    in the returned pathname.
20 entry
21    is the optional entryname to be used in the returned pathname.

28 treats it as a single argument regardless of special characters in the
29 name.
