Hi

Code to find the absolute path of the current directory

--------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
FILE *in;
extern FILE *popen();
char buff[512];

/* popen creates a pipe so we can read the output
of the program we are invoking */
if (!(in = popen("pwd", "r"))) {
exit(1);
}

/* read the output of netstat, one line at a time */
while (fgets(buff, sizeof(buff), in) != NULL ) {
printf("Output: %s", buff);
}

/* close the pipe */
pclose(in);
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Regards
Iswaria.

You can also use standard GNU C functions such as getwd and getcwd as described at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Working-Directory.html
