canonicalize_filename(3alleg4) Allegro manual canonicalize_filename(3alleg4)NAMEcanonicalize_filename - Converts any filename into its canonical form. Allegro game programming library.SYNOPSIS#include <allegro.h> char *canonicalize_filename(char *dest, const char *filename, int size);DESCRIPTIONConverts any filename into its canonical form, i.e. the minimal absolute filename describing the same file and fixing incorrect for- ward/backward slashes for the current platform, storing at most `size' bytes into the `dest' buffer. You can use the same buffer both as input and output because Allegro internally works on a copy of the input before touching `dest'. Example: char buf[256]; ... canonicalize_filename(buf, "~/../s22/..\t3st///hi.c", sizeof(buf)); /* Running this under Unix would return: /home/t3st/hi.c */ Note that this function won't work as expected if the path to canonicalize comes from another platform (eg. a "c:something" path will canonicalize into something really wrong under Unix: "/current/path/c:/something").RETURN VALUEReturns a copy of the `dest' parameter.SEE ALSOfix_filename_case(3alleg4), fix_filename_slashes(3alleg4) Allegro version 4.4.2 canonicalize_filename(3alleg4)
