| 26 | Interpreter in which to report an error, if any. |
|---|
| 27 | .AP Tcl_DString *bufferPtr in/out |
|---|
| 28 | This dynamic string is used to store the current working directory. |
|---|
| 29 | At the time of the call it should be uninitialized or free. The |
|---|
| 30 | caller must eventually call \fBTcl_DStringFree\fR to free up |
|---|
| 31 | anything stored here. |
|---|
| 32 | .AP char *path in |
|---|
| 33 | File path in UTF\-8 format. |

| 36 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 37 | .PP |
|---|
| 38 | These procedures may be used to manipulate the current working |
|---|
| 39 | directory for the application. They provide C\-level access to |
|---|
| 40 | the same functionality as the Tcl \fBpwd\fR command. |
|---|
| 41 | .PP |
|---|
| 42 | \fBTcl_GetCwd\fR returns a pointer to a string specifying the current |
|---|
| 43 | directory, or NULL if the current directory could not be determined. |
|---|
| 44 | If NULL is returned, an error message is left in the \fIinterp\fR's result. |
|---|
| 45 | Storage for the result string is allocated in bufferPtr; the caller |
|---|
| 46 | must call \fBTcl_DStringFree()\fR when the result is no longer needed. |
|---|
| 47 | The format of the path is UTF\-8. |
|---|
| 48 | .PP |
|---|
| 49 | \fBTcl_Chdir\fR changes the applications current working directory to |
|---|
| 50 | the value specified in \fIpath\fR. The format of the passed in string |
|---|
| 51 | must be UTF\-8. The function returns -1 on error or 0 on success. |
