NAME¶

replace_filename - Replaces path+filename with a new filename tail. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <allegro.h>

char *replace_filename(char *dest, const char *path, const char *filename, int size);

DESCRIPTION¶

Replaces the specified path+filename with a new filename tail, 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 name[200];


   ...


   get_executable_name(name, sizeof(name));


   replace_filename(name, name, "sound.dat", sizeof(name));

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns a copy of the `dest' parameter.
