:mrdocs:

Load into the specified `leaf` the value of the rightmost name in the specified `path` that follows the root; that is, the leaf element. If the optionally specified `rootEnd` offset is non‐negative, it is taken as the position in `path` of the character following the root. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise; in particular, return nonzero if `path` does not have a leaf. Note that `getBasename` is a synonym for `getLeaf`. See []and Performance). See also  for the definition of leaf and root.
