class AvoidUNCPath(object):
    """A context manager to protect command execution from UNC paths.

    In the Win32 API, commands can't be invoked with the cwd being a UNC path.
    This context manager temporarily changes directory to the 'C:' drive on
    entering, and restores the original working directory on exit.

    The context manager returns the starting working directory *if* it made a
    change and None otherwise, so that users can apply the necessary adjustment
    to their system calls in the event of a change.

    Example
    -------
    ::
        cmd = 'dir'
