7       Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <allegro.h>
11
12
13       char *get_filename(const char *path);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Finds out the filename portion of a  completely  specified  file  path.
17       Both  `\'  and `/' are recognized as directory separators under DOS and
18       Windows.  However, only `/' is recognized as directory separator  under
19       other platforms. Example:
20
21          get_executable_name(name, sizeof(name));
22          allegro_message("Running `%s'\n", get_filename(name));
23
24       Note  that Allegro won't perform any IO operations during the verifica‐
25       tion.  This means that if you have `/a/path/like/this/', which  doesn't
26       have  a  filename,  the  function will return a pointer to the trailing
27       null character. However, if you have `/a/path/like/this', Allegro  will
28       return a pointer to `this', even if it is a valid directory.
29

RETURN VALUE

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