NAME

GetCurrentDirName: returns the current directory name (V36)

SYNOPSIS

success = GetCurrentDirName(buf, len)

D0 D1 D2

BOOL GetCurrentDirName(STRPTR, LONG)

FUNCTION

Extracts the current directory name from the CLI structure and puts it into the buffer. If the buffer is too small, the name is truncated appropriately and a failure code returned. If no CLI structure is present, a null string is returned in the buffer, and failure from the call (with IoErr() == ERROR_OBJECT_WRONG_TYPE);

INPUTS

buf: Buffer to hold extracted name
len: Number of bytes of space in buffer

RESULT

success: Success/failure indicator

NOTES

This function's purpose is to retrieve the name of the current CLI directory, which is stored as part of a CLI structure attached to a Process. It is not a general purpose function which produces the name of the current directory that a Process is using. If you need to obtain this information, use the NameFromLock() function instead.

BUGS

In V36, this function didn't handle 0-length buffers correctly.
