Thread: Absolute path C

Hello,

Do anybody know, how could I get an absolute path? I tried this, but I have strange results...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv) {
    char the_path[256];

    getcwd(the_path, 255);
    strcat(the_path, "/");
    strcat(the_path, argv[0]);

    printf("%s\n", the_path);

    return 0;
}
