al_join_paths3

Allegro 5 api

Usage

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
bool al_join_paths(ALLEGRO_PATH *path, const ALLEGRO_PATH *tail)

Overview

Concatenate two path structures. The first path structure is modified. If `tail' is an absolute path, this function does nothing.

If `tail' is a relative path, all of its directory components will be appended to `path'. tail’s filename will also overwrite path’s filename, even if it is just the empty string.

Tail’s drive is ignored.

Returns true if `tail' was a relative path and so concatenated to `path', otherwise returns false.
