Dear all, I have a maybe simple question, but it's a headache for me:-) my question is how to represent current directory in C program. when i am using execlp() function in my c program. i always have to key in the directory where the file is located. is there a simple method ? for example a simple sign like '../' or 'use pwd',but how? thanks in advance.
