NAME

osdConvertPathname - convert pathname to local format


SYNOPSIS

void osdConvertPathname(char *outname, char *inname)

osdConvertPathname() converts a pathname into a valid format for the local machine. inname may be in either UNIX style ( /usr/path/file ) or MicroSoft style ( C:\\path\\file ). When osdConvertPathname() returns, outname will be the path specified by inname transformed to the local format.


ARGUMENTS


outname The pathname in local format
inname The pathname to be converted


BUGS

Since non-case-sensitive file systems are supported (FAT in particular), all characters on case-sensitive systems are converted to lower-case. Therefore, the application should avoid using or depending on files and paths that have upper-case characters on a case sensitive system.
