The
path.extname() method is used to get the extension portion of a file path. The extension string returned from the last occurrence of a period (.) in the path to the end of the path string. If there are no periods in the file path, then an empty string is returned.
Syntax:
path.extname( path )
Parameters: This method accepts single parameter
path which holds the file path that would be used to extract the extension.
Return Value: It returns a string with the extension portion of the path. It throws a TypeError if this parameter is not a string value.
