SICStus Prolog caches the name of the current working directory. To
take advantage of the cache and to keep it consistent, foreign code
should call the following interface functions instead of calling
chdir()
and getcwd()
directly:
int SP_chdir(const char *path)
path
to become the current
working directory. Returns 0 upon successful completion. Otherwise, a
value of -1 is returned and errno
is set to indicate the error.
char *SP_getcwd(char *buf, unsigned int size);
buf
is
not NULL
, the pathname will be stored in the space pointed to by
buf
. If buf
is a NULL
pointer, size
bytes
of space will be obtained using SP_malloc()
. In this case, the
pointer returned may be used as the argument in a subsequent call
to SP_free()
. Returns NULL
with errno
set if
size
is not large enough to store the pathname.
