NAME

       get_filename  -  Returns  a  pointer  to  the  filename  portion  of  a path. Allegro game
       programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       char *get_filename(const char *path);

DESCRIPTION

       Finds out the filename portion of a completely specified file path. Both `\' and  `/'  are
       recognized as directory separators under DOS and Windows.  However, only `/' is recognized
       as directory separator under other platforms. Example:

          get_executable_name(name, sizeof(name));
          allegro_message("Running `%s'\n", get_filename(name));

       Note that Allegro won't perform any IO operations during  the  verification.   This  means
       that  if  you  have `/a/path/like/this/', which doesn't have a filename, the function will
       return a pointer to the trailing null character. However, if you have `/a/path/like/this',
       Allegro will return a pointer to `this', even if it is a valid directory.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  a pointer to the portion of `path' where the filename starts, or the beginning of
       `path' if no valid filename is found (eg. you are processing a path with backslashes under
       Unix).
