UNC An abbreviation of Universal Naming Convention. UNC is a
way to specify a path describing the location of a network
resource, such as shared folders, or shared printers, on a
network, Microsoft Networks (SMB).
The UNC syntax uses "\\" before the hostname, hostname and
resource name are delimited by "\".
If the hostname is "myhost", and if its host shared folder name
is "sharefolder", the UNC syntax is described as follows:
