+## `joinpath` - Joins the provided paths according to the OS
+
+### Status
+
+Experimental
+
+### Description
+
+This interface joins the paths provided to it according to the platform specific path-separator.
+i.e `\` for windows and `/` for others
+
+### Syntax
+
+`res = ` [[stdlib_system(module):joinpath(interface)]] ` (p1, p2)`

+`res = ` [[stdlib_system(module):joinpath(interface)]] ` (p)`
+
+### Class
+Pure function
+
+### Arguments
+
+`p1, p2`: Shall be a character string. It is an `intent(in)` argument.
+    or
+`p`: Shall be a list of character strings. `intent(in)` argument.
+
+### Return values
+
+The resultant path.
+
+## `operator(/)`
+
+Alternative syntax to`joinpath` using an overloaded operator. Join two paths according to the platform specific path-separator.
+
+### Status

+Experimental
+
+### Syntax
+
+`p = lval / rval`
+
+### Class
+
+Pure function.
+
+### Arguments
+
+`lval`: A character string, `intent(in)`.
+
+`rval`: A character string, `intent(in)`.

+## `splitpath` - splits a path immediately following the last separator
+
+### Status
+

+
+### Description
+
+This subroutine splits a path immediately following the last separator after removing the trailing separators
+splitting it into most of the times a directory and a file name.
+
+### Syntax
+
+`call `[[stdlib_system(module):splitpath(interface)]]`(p, head, tail)`
+
+### Class
+Subroutine
+
+### Arguments
+
+`p`: A character string containing the path to be split. `intent(in)`
+`head`: The first part of the path. `allocatable, intent(out)`
+`tail`: The rest part of the path. `allocatable, intent(out)`
+
+### Behavior
+
+- If `p` is empty, `head` is set to `.` and `tail` is empty
+- If `p` consists entirely of path-separators. `head` is set to the path-separator and `tail` is empty
+- `head` ends in a path-separator if and only if `p` appears to be a root directory or child of one

+### Return values
