-XXX
+This routine is responsible for evaluating the pathname passed in
+based upon the flags and the valid @code{rthems_filesystem_location_info_t}.
+Additionally, it must make any changes to pathloc necessary to identify
+the pathname node. This should include calling the evalpath for a mounted
+filesystem, if the given filesystem supports the mount command.
+
+This routine returns a 0 if the evaluation was successful.
+Otherwise, it returns a -1 and sets errno to the correct error.
+This routine is required and should NOT be set to NULL.

@subheading Description:
-XXX
+This method is given a path to evaluate and a valid start location. It
+is responsible for finding the parent node for a requested make command,
+setting pathloc information to identify the parent node, and setting
+the name pointer to the first character of the name of the new node.
+Additionally, if the filesystem supports the mount command, this method

+This routine returns a 0 if the evaluation was successful. Otherwise, it
+returns a -1 and sets errno to the correct error.
+
+This routine is required and should NOT be set to NULL. However, if
+the filesystem does not support user creation of a new node, it may
+set errno to ENOSYS and return -1.
