is_relative_filename(3alleg4)

✨ NAME ✨

is_relative_filename — returns TRUE if the filename is relative, bestie. Part of the Allegro game programming library, so you already know it's iconic 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int is_relative_filename(const char *filename);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, this one is lowkey simple but the vibes matter. You hand it a filename, and it hands you back TRUE if that filename is relative, or FALSE if it's absolute. That's it. That's the whole function. No cap. 🎀

⚠️ But wait — the tea ☕ is that an absolute filename under DOS (one with a device separator) will be considered relative under Unix. Why? Because on Unix, absolute paths always start with a slash, periodt. So like, different platform, different rules, and this function is judging you by Unix's standards. 😭
