var reExtendedLengthPath = require( '@stdlib/regexp/extended-length-path' );

var RE_EXTENDED_LENGTH_PATH = reExtendedLengthPath();
var bool;
var path;

path = '\\\\?\\C:\\foo\\bar';
bool = RE_EXTENDED_LENGTH_PATH.test( path );
// returns true

path = '\\\\?\\UNC\\server\\share';
bool = RE_EXTENDED_LENGTH_PATH.test( path );
// returns true

path = 'C:\\foo\\bar';
bool = RE_EXTENDED_LENGTH_PATH.test( path );
// returns false

path = '/c/foo/bar';
bool = RE_EXTENDED_LENGTH_PATH.test( path );
// returns false

path = '/foo/bar';
bool = RE_EXTENDED_LENGTH_PATH.test( path );
