Function Documentation

findFileInSearchPath()

char * findFileInSearchPath

(

char *

filename

)

Finds a file within the configured search path.

This function searches for the specified filename in each directory listed in the search_path. If the filename includes SDDS tags (indicated by '=' and '+'), the tags are processed and appended to the found file path.

Parameters

filename

The name of the file to locate. It may include SDDS tags in the format <filename>=<x>+<y>.

Returns

A dynamically allocated string containing the path to the found file with tags, or NULL if the file is not found.

setSearchPath()

void setSearchPath

(

char *

input

)

Sets the search path for file lookup.

This function updates the global search_path variable. If a new input path is provided, it copies the input string to search_path, freeing any previously allocated memory. If the input is NULL, search_path is set to NULL.

Parameters

input

The new search path to set. If NULL, the search path is cleared.

  if (input)
    cp_str(&search_path, input);
  else
    search_path = NULL;
}
