al\_insert\_path\_component - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  void al_insert_path_component(ALLEGRO_PATH *path, int i, const char *s)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Insert a directory component at index i. If the index is negative then count from the right, i.e. -1 refers to the last path component.
