NAME

       al_make_path_canonical - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              bool al_make_path_canonical(ALLEGRO_PATH *path)

DESCRIPTION

       Removes  any  leading  '..'  directory  components  in  absolute  paths.   Removes all '.'
       directory components.

       Note that this does not collapse "x/../y" sections into  "y".   This  is  by  design.   If
       "/foo"  on  your  system  is  a  symlink  to  "/bar/baz",  then "/foo/../quux" is actually
       "/bar/quux", not "/quux" as a naive removal of ".."  components would give you.
