[PATCH v3 01/10] strbuf: add strbuf_getcwd()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add strbuf_getcwd(), which puts the current working directory into a
strbuf.  Because it doesn't use a fixed-size buffer it supports
arbitrarily long paths, provided the platform's getcwd() does as well.
At least on Linux and FreeBSD it handles paths longer than PATH_MAX
just fine.
