    How do I concatenate a defines and a string

    Code:
    #define CONFIG_PATH "/etc/openvpn/conf"
    
    glob_t gl;
    
    glob("/etc/openvpn/conf/*.conf", 0, NULL, &gl);
    Consider the above. I want to utilize the CONFIG_PATH defines in the glob statement.
    How can I do this economically and without reducing performance?

    Thanks.

    What, you mean this?
    Code:
    glob(CONFIG_PATH "/*.conf", 0, NULL, &gl);

    I didn't know you could concat strings like that in C.

    Thanks for that.

    That only works for string literals.
