get_filename(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					     get_filename(3alleg4)

NAME

       get_filename - Returns a pointer to the filename portion of a path. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       char *get_filename(const char *path);

DESCRIPTION

       Finds  out  the filename portion of a completely specified file path. Both `' and `/' are recognized as directory separators under DOS and
       Windows.  However, only `/' is recognized as directory separator under other platforms. Example:

	  get_executable_name(name, sizeof(name));
	  allegro_message("Running `%s'
", get_filename(name));

       Note that Allegro won't perform any IO operations during the verification.  This means that if you have `/a/path/like/this/', which doesn't
       have  a filename, the function will return a pointer to the trailing null character. However, if you have `/a/path/like/this', Allegro will
       return a pointer to `this', even if it is a valid directory.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the portion of `path' where the filename starts, or the beginning of `path' if no valid filename is found (eg. you are
       processing a path with backslashes under Unix).
