Prototype 

int getcurdir(int drive, char *directory); 

int _wgetcurdir(int drive, wchar_t *directory ); 

Description 

Gets current directory for specified drive. 

getcurdir gets the name of the current working directory for the drive indicated by drive. drive specifies a drive number (0 for default, 1 for A, and so on). directory points to an area of memory of length MAXDIR where the null-terminated directory name will be placed. The name does not contain the drive specification and does not begin with a backslash. 

Return Value 

getcurdir returns 0 on success or -1 in the event of error. 

Example  

#include <dir.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char *current_directory(char *path)
{
  strcpy(path, "X:\\");      /* fill string with form of response: X:\ */
  path[0] = 'A' + getdisk();    /* replace X with current drive letter */
  getcurdir(0, path+3);  /* fill rest of string with current directory */
  return(path);
}
int main(void)
{
  char curdir[MAXPATH];
  current_directory(curdir);
  printf("The current directory is %s\n", curdir);
  return 0;
}
