Description
Returns the full path of a file name in UNC format, if appropriate.
ExpandUNCFileName returns the fully qualified file name for a specified file name.
Note: ExpandUNCFileName returns a fully qualified path name using Universal Naming Convention for network files. For files on local disks, ExpandUNCFileName is equivalent to ExpandFileName. In a UNC file name, the drive prefix is replaced with the name of the network resource to which the drive is mapped. For example, if the working directory is J:\ourdir and drive J is mapped to \\ourserver\ourshare, ExpandUNCFileName('ourfile') returns "\\ourserver\ourshare\ourdir\ourfile".
Note: On MacOS, ExpandUNCFileName is always equivalent to ExpandFileName.
