util_chdir2path

The util_chdir2path function changes the current directory to a specified directory, where you can access a file.

When running under Windows, use a critical section to ensure that more than one thread does not call this function at the same time.

Use util_chdir2path when you want to make file access a little quicker, because you do not need to use a full path.

Syntax

int util_chdir2path(char *path);

Returns

0 if the directory was changed, or -1 if the directory could not be changed.

Parameters

char *path is the name of a directory.

The parameter must be a writable string because it isn’t permanently modified.
