💖 al_rebase_path 💖

okay bestie, this is al_rebase_path(3) from the Library Functions Manual — and yes, it's giving Allegro 5 API energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

al_rebase_path — Allegro 5 API

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_rebase_path(const ALLEGRO_PATH *head, ALLEGRO_PATH *tail)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: you're concatenating two path structures, and the second path structure is the one getting modified. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

If tail is an absolute path, this function does absolutely nothing — like, it's not even gonna touch it. Otherwise, the drive and path components in head are inserted at the start of tail. slay.

For example, if head is “/anchor/” and tail is “data/file.ext”, then after the call tail becomes “/anchor/data/file.ext”. literally iconic behavior. ✨
