Hey!
I'm a beginner and I am making a code about getting the directory of a file, but I have something that I don't understand.
What's the meaning of "./" inDS = opendir ("./");
I have searched a lot of sites about C programming, but nothing gave me a good explanation. I have to present my code soon, forcing me to explain every single line of my code. Please help me. Thanks!
The "./" means "use the current directory where your application is running". The dot is the current directory. If it was "../" it would point to the directory above where you are. If it was "~/" then it would point to your home directory.
Thank you for your answer!
NP. Sometimes reading the manual helps... :-) In any case, it was a sensible question for a newbie. Sometimes what is obvious to us "old-timers" isn't so to newer programmers.
