# UNC Path
> [Regular expression][regexp] to parse a [UNC][unc] path.
## Usage
```javascript
var reUncPath = require( '@stdlib/regexp/unc-path' );
```
#### reUncPath()
Return a [regular expression][regexp] to parse a [UNC][unc] path.
```javascript
var RE_UNC_PATH = reUncPath();
var parts = RE_UNC_PATH.exec( '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz:a:b' );
/* returns
[
'\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz:a:b',
'server', // host name
'share', // share name
'\\foo\\bar\\baz:a:b', // object name
'\\foo\\bar', // path name
'baz:a:b', // file name
'a', // stream name
'b', // stream type
'index': 0,
'input': '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz:a:b'
]
*/
parts = RE_UNC_PATH.exec( '\\\\server\\share' );
/* returns
[
'\\\\server\\share',
'server', // host name
'share', // share name
'', // object name
undefined, // path name
undefined, // file name
undefined, // stream name
undefined, // stream type
'index': 0,
'input': '\\\\server\\share'
]
*/
```
#### reUncPath.REGEXP
[Regular expression][regexp] to parse a [UNC][unc] path.
```javascript
var parts = reUncPath.REGEXP.exec( '\\\\server\\share\\foo\\bar\\baz' )[ 1 ];
// returns 'server'
```

```javascript
var reUncPath = require( '@stdlib/regexp/unc-path' );
