Is there a C library function that can take a path and break it into its
component parts? I think dos has one called fnsplit but i cant seem to find
an equal in the linux world

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int ArgC,char *ArgV[]) {

char *Ptr;
char path[255],file[64];

Ptr = strrchr(ArgV[1],'/');

}


path and file are limited... overflow may happen...


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *ptr;
char *path;

ptr = strrchr(argv[1], '/');
if(! ptr)
{
fprintf(stderr, "file=%s in current directory\n", argv[1]);

return 0;
}

path = (char *)strndup(argv[1], ptr - argv[1]);
if(! path)
{
fprintf(stderr , "buy some memory, malloc failed, aborting.\n");

return 1;
}

fprintf(stderr, "path=%s file=%s\n", path, ptr + 1);

fprintf(stderr, "Whoopy, without arrays!\n");

return 0;
}
