Tcl_GetCwd, Tcl_Chdir — manipulate the current working directory
#include <tcl.h>
char *
Tcl_GetCwd(interp, bufferPtr)
int
Tcl_Chdir(path)
- Tcl_Interp *interp
(in)
- Interpreter in which to report an error, if any.
- Tcl_DString
*bufferPtr (in/out)
- This dynamic string is used to store the current working
directory. At the time of the call it should be uninitialized or
free. The caller must eventually call Tcl_DStringFree to free up anything
stored here.
- char *path (in)
- File path in UTF-8 format.
These procedures may be used to manipulate the current working
directory for the application. They provide C-level access to the
same functionality as the Tcl pwd command.
Tcl_GetCwd returns a pointer to a string specifying the
current directory, or NULL if the current directory could not be
determined. If NULL is returned, an error message is left in the
interp's result. Storage for the result string is allocated
in bufferPtr; the caller must call Tcl_DStringFree() when the result
is no longer needed. The format of the path is UTF-8.
Tcl_Chdir changes the applications current working
directory to the value specified in path. The format of the
passed in string must be UTF-8. The function returns -1 on error or
0 on success.
