fnqualify

FNQUALIFY(3pub) 					       C Programmer's Manual						   FNQUALIFY(3pub)

NAME

       fnqualify - qualify a filename

SYNOPSIS

       #include <publib.h>

       size_t fnqualify(char *result, const char *path, size_t max);

DESCRIPTION

       fname_qualify  qualifies  a filename.  This means that if the input name is not an absolute name (i.e. starts from the root directory, e.g.
       is foo, not /tmp/foo), the current directory will be prepended to it.  Also, tilde conversion is done: if the filename begins with a  tilde
       (~),  the  tilde  is replaced with the home directory of the user, and if it begins with a tilde and a username, both are replaced with the
       home directory of the given user.

       Simplifications like replacing /./ with /, and /foo/../bar with /bar are not done because of problems with symbolic links.

RETURNS

       The function returns -1 if there was some error, or the total size of the full name otherwise.  The return value may be	greater  than  the
       maximum size given by the last argument; only as much as allowed by that is actually written, though.

SEE ALSO

       publib(3), fname(3)
