NAME¶

PathCompactPathExA (SHLWAPI.@)

SYNOPSIS¶

BOOL PathCompactPathExA
(
LPSTR lpszDest,
LPCSTR lpszPath,
UINT cchMax,
DWORD dwFlags
)

DESCRIPTION¶

Compact a path into a given number of characters.

PARAMS¶

lpszDest [Out] Destination for compacted path. lpszPath [In] Source path. cchMax [In] Maximum size of compacted path. dwFlags [In] Reserved.

RETURNS¶

Success: TRUE. The compacted path is written to lpszDest. Failure: FALSE. lpszPath is undefined.

NOTES¶

If cchMax is given as 0, lpszDest will still be NUL terminated. The Win32 version of this function contains a bug: When cchMax == 7, 8 bytes will be written to lpszDest. This bug is fixed in the Wine implementation. Some relative paths will be different when cchMax == 5 or 6. This occurs because Win32 will insert a "

IMPLEMENTATION¶

Declared in "shlwapi.h". Implemented in "dlls/shlwapi/path.c". Debug channel "shell".
