NAME

SDL_GetCurrentDirectory - Get what the system believes is the "current working directory."

HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3/SDL_filesystem.h

SYNOPSIS

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

char * SDL_GetCurrentDirectory(void);

DESCRIPTION

For systems without a concept of a current working directory, this will still attempt to provide something reasonable.

SDL does not provide a means to _change_ the current working directory; for platforms without this concept, this would cause surprises with file access outside of SDL.

The returned path is guaranteed to end with a path separator (’\’ on Windows, ’/’ on most other platforms).

RETURN VALUE

Returns a UTF-8 string of the current working directory in platform-dependent notation. NULL if there’s a problem. This should be freed with SDL_free () when it is no longer needed.

AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
