getcurdir, _wgetcurdir

Header File

dir.h

Category

Directory Control Routines

Prototype

int getcurdir(int drive, char *directory);

int _wgetcurdir(int drive, wchar_t *directory );

Description

Gets current directory for specified drive.

getcurdir gets the name of the current working directory for the drive indicated by drive. drive specifies a drive number (0 for default, 1 for A, and so on). directory points to an area of memory of length MAXDIR where the null-terminated directory name will be placed. The name does not contain the drive specification and does not begin with a backslash.

Return Value

getcurdir returns 0 on success or -1 in the event of error.

Example

Copy Code

    #include <dir.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    char *current_directory(char *path)
    {
      strcpy(path, "X:\\");      /* fill string with form of response: X:\ */
      path[0] = 'A' + getdisk();    /* replace X with current drive letter */
      getcurdir(0, path+3);  /* fill rest of string with current directory */
      return(path);
    }
    int main(void)
    {
      char curdir[MAXPATH];
      current_directory(curdir);
      printf("The current directory is %s\n", curdir);
      return 0;
    }
