al_get_pat...components(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

al_get_path_num_components — Allegro 5 API

Okay so this al_get_pat...components(3) page is from the Library Functions Manual, and it's here to explain one very specific little path-counting queen 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_path_num_components(const ALLEGRO_PATH *path)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She returns the number of directory components in a path 🫶

And bestie, listen: the directory components do not include the final part of a path — aka the filename 🙈 So don't count the filename, no cap.

mwah 💋 this page is from the Allegro reference manual — version/date vibe was not listed in the footer, so she's giving mysterious main-character energy 🌸🦋
