make_absolute_filename(3) Allegro manual make_absolute_filename(3)NAMEmake_absolute_filename - Makes an absolute filename from a path and
relative filename. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
char *make_absolute_filename(char *dest, const char *path, const char
*filename, int size);
DESCRIPTION
Makes an absolute filename from an absolute path and a relative file‐
name, storing at most `size' bytes into the `dest' buffer. This is like
calling replace_filename() and then canonicalize_filename(). Example:
char buf[256];
...
make_absolute_filename(buf, "/usr/games/",
"../temp.txt", sizeof(buf));
/* This would create /usr/temp.txt */
RETURN VALUE
Returns a copy of the `dest' parameter.
