🌸 NAME 🌸

al_create_path_for_directory — Allegro 5 API 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_PATH *al_create_path_for_directory(const char *str)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically? this is literally the same as al_create_path(3alleg5) 💫 — same energy, same job — BUT it treats the string you hand it as a directory path instead of a regular path.

and because it's a directory path, the filename component of the returned path will always be empty. like, always always. no cap 🙈 that's just how it is.

fr fr: directory in, no filename out. that's the whole vibe. ✨
