/**

Routine Description:

  This function returns the directory path which contains the particular path.
  Some examples:
    "a/b/c"  -> "a/b"

    "/"      -> NULL

  This function does not check for the existence of the file.

  The caller must free the string returned.

Arguments:

  FilePath     Path name of file to get the parent directory for.

Returns:

  NULL if error
