    ANSI - working with directories

    Is there an ANSI was to get the current directory and change directories. I am using LCC-WIN32 and I notice it has functions in direct.h like getcwd to get the current directory. I was wondering if these were ANSI.

    Thanks

    ANSI-C does not have anything to do with file systems - so any file system functions would be OS specific.

    The next best standard to go for is POSIX, which does specify a lot of things relating to operating systems.
