returns the name a SimMultiBody Library Directory
Description
If called without an argument, it returns the Library path
If called with a function name, it returns the file name path
The directory is created in smbNewSystem.

Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, smbPSLibname, is designed to return the name of a SimMultiBody Library Directory or a specific file path within that directory. It is part of the SimMechanics library and was created by Tim Lueth.
Input Parameters
- FName: This is an optional input parameter. It represents the name of a function within the SimMultiBody library. If not provided, the function defaults to returning the library path.
Output
- fn: This is the output of the function. It returns the file name path if
FName is provided, or the directory name if FName is not provided.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize
FName as an empty string.
- Check if there is at least one input argument and if the first argument is not empty. If so, assign the first argument to
FName.
- Construct the file path using the
smbFilename function and the FName variable. The path is formatted as '%s+mechPS_Tim_Lueth/%s', where the first placeholder is replaced by the result of smbFilename and the second by FName.
- If the operating system is Windows (checked using
ispc), replace forward slashes with backslashes in the file path using strrep.
The function is part of a larger library and interacts with other functions such as smbNewSystem, smbWhich, smbFilename, and smbPSLibCompile.
