al_get_path_component(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to al_get_path_component — it's giving Allegro 5 API energy, and it's literally here to hand you one little piece of a path 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const char *al_get_path_component(const ALLEGRO_PATH *path, int i)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, this function returns the i'th directory component of a path, and we're counting from zero — yes bestie, zero-indexed, that's the vibe 😌

if the index is negative, then you count from the right instead. so -1 refers to the last path component. periodt. 💖

⚠️ okay but for real, it is an error to pass an index which is out of bounds. like, don't do that. it's not the move. 🫠
