- Q32991 _searchenv of File in Root Directory
- C Compiler
- 5.00 5.10 | 5.10
- MS-DOS | OS/2
-
- Summary:
- _searchenv will return an invalid pathname for a file in the
- root directory when the current working directory is also the root
- directory.
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Versions 5.00 and
- 5.10 of the C compiler. We are researching this problem and will post
- new information as it becomes available.
-
- More Information:
- The following program demonstrates this problem; it should be run in
- the root directory of your boot disk:
-
- #include <dos.h>
-
- main ()
- {
- char path_buffer [40];
-
- _searchenv ("autoexec.bat", "PATH", path_buffer);
- printf ("path: %s\n", path_buffer);
- }
-
- The following is the output (note the extra backslash in the path
- name):
-
- path: C:\\autoexec.bat
