Usage

Overview

Returns the path to the current working directory, or NULL on failure. The returned path is dynamically allocated and must be destroyed with al_free(3).

Allegro’s errno is filled in to indicate the error if there is a failure. This function may not be implemented on some (virtual) filesystems.
