:synopsis: Operations on pathnames.
-**Source code:** :source:`Lib/posixpath.py` (for POSIX) and
+**Source code:** :source:`Lib/genericpath.py`, :source:`Lib/posixpath.py` (for POSIX) and
:source:`Lib/ntpath.py` (for Windows).
.. index:: single: path; operations
if *paths* is empty. Unlike :func:`commonprefix`, this returns a
valid path.

Dev Drives. See `the Windows documentation <https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/dev-drive/>`_
for information on enabling and creating Dev Drives.
- .. availability:: Windows.
-
.. versionadded:: 3.12
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.13
+ The function is now available on all platforms, and will always return ``False`` on those that have no support for Dev Drives
+
.. function:: isreserved(path)
*start* defaults to :data:`os.curdir`.
- .. availability:: Unix, Windows.
-
.. versionchanged:: 3.6
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
This is determined by the device number and i-node number and raises an
exception if an :func:`os.stat` call on either pathname fails.
- .. availability:: Unix, Windows.
-
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
Added Windows support.
Return ``True`` if the file descriptors *fp1* and *fp2* refer to the same file.
- .. availability:: Unix, Windows.
-
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
Added Windows support.
:func:`os.lstat`, or :func:`os.stat`. This function implements the
underlying comparison used by :func:`samefile` and :func:`sameopenfile`.
- .. availability:: Unix, Windows.
-
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
Added Windows support.
