al_get_path_drive — Allegro 5 API 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const char *al_get_path_drive(const ALLEGRO_PATH *path)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so al_get_path_drive returns the drive letter on a path, or the empty string if there is none. That's literally the whole vibe. 🫶

The “drive letter” is only used on Windows, and it's usually a string like c:, but it may be something like \\Computer Name in the case of UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) syntax. Windows path lore, iykyk. 🪟💫
