/**
 * Get the relative path of a file.

 * This is a slibc extension.
 * 
 * @param   file  The file.
 * @param   ref   The file the result shall be relative to,
 *                `NULL` for the current working directory.
 *                If and only if this path ends with a slash,
 *                (or if it is `NULL`,) it will be treated as
 *                a directory in which a symbolic link, with
 *                the result as it target, can be located to
 *                point to `file`.
 * 
 * @throws  ENOMEM  The process cannot allocate more memory.
