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

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.

Name

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

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).
