> char* get_filename(char* path);
sorry if what i say sounds stupid, but i really never understood why
a function that takes a read-write pointer should *also* return it.
for me it sounds useless, and should be nicer if it returned something
else (*) ... it there a reason (i mean a good reason :) for this behaviour?
(*) think for example of fgets, it should be nicer if it returned the
number of items succesfully read (a la scanf and printf)
