canonicalize_filename - Converts any filename into its canonical form. Allegro game programming library.

Description

       Converts  any  filename  into  its canonical form, i.e. the minimal absolute filename describing the same
       file and fixing incorrect forward/backward slashes for the current platform, storing at most `size' bytes
       into the `dest' buffer. You can use the same buffer both as input and output because  Allegro  internally
       works on a copy of the input before touching `dest'. Example:

          char buf[256];
          ...
          canonicalize_filename(buf, "~/../s22/..\\t3st///hi.c",
                                sizeof(buf));
          /* Running this under Unix would
             return: /home/t3st/hi.c */

       Note  that  this  function won't work as expected if the path to canonicalize comes from another platform
       (eg.  a   "c:\something"   path   will   canonicalize   into   something   really   wrong   under   Unix:
       "/current/path/c:/something").

Name

       canonicalize_filename - Converts any filename into its canonical form. Allegro game programming library.
