Re: [SLE] programming question

getcwd() isn't what i'm needing. I'll just describe what the program is. The program will be used to students to handin homework assigments over the network. the program handin will be in ~user/bin, the conf files will be in ~user/handin/conf and the students assignments will be stored in ~user/handin/assign#/user_id. They will issue the command by typing "~coursenumber/bin/handin <files>" o if you can see, the cwd will be the students dir and i need to change to the class dir. That is my problems since i kan't get from the students directory to the class directory. chdir( "~class") doesn't work and searching the passwd file for the classes home directory won't work since the computers use a NIS server.

If I understand what you want, there is a function called getcwd, (GET Current Working Directory) that does what you want. (see program at end) It is not ANSI standard C. It works with SuSE 6.1, YMMV. I've installed additional libraries and upgraded a few. I suspect it is available on most systems.
