al_get_current_directory(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_current_directory — Allegro 5 API

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

char *al_get_current_directory(void)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie, so this one is giving “where am I even standing right now?” energy. It returns the path to the current working directory, or NULL on failure. No cap, that NULL means it didn’t work.

The returned path is dynamically allocated and must be destroyed with al_free(3alleg5). Do not just leave it chilling, okay? Free your girl. 💅

Allegro’s errno is filled in to indicate the error if there is a failure. So if something goes wrong, the vibe check happens in errno.

This function may not be implemented on some (virtual) filesystems. Like, some (virtual) filesystems simply said “not today” and did not implement it.
