### path.relative(from, to)
Solve the relative path from `from` to `to`.
Sometimes we've got two absolute pathes, and we need to calculate the relative path from one to another.
It's accually the reverse transform of path.resolve, which means we assume:
path.resolve(from, path.relative(from, to)) == path.resolve(to)
Examples:
path.relative('C:\\orandea\\test\\aaa', 'C:\\orandea\\impl\\bbb')
// returns
'..\\..\\impl\\bbb'
path.relative('/data/orandea/test/aaa', '/data/orandea/impl/bbb')
// returns
'../../impl/bbb'
### path.dirname(p) ### path.dirname(p)
Return the directory name of a path. Similar to the Unix `dirname` command. Return the directory name of a path. Similar to the Unix `dirname` command.
