Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The searchenv() function searches for the file specified by name in the list of directories assigned to the environment variable specified by env_var.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <limits.h> void display_help( FILE *fp ) { printf( "display_help T.B.I.\n" ); } int main( void ) { FILE *help_file; char full_path[ PATH_MAX ]; searchenv( "lib_ref.html", "PATH", full_path ); if( full_path[0] == '\0' ) { printf( "Unable to find help file\n" ); } else { help_file = fopen( full_path, "r" ); display_help( help_file ); fclose( help_file ); } return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
