If that's all * you're doing, you can also use the convenience function: * * chdir_notify_reparent("description", &my_path); * * Whenever a chdir event occurs, that will update my_path (if it's relative) * to adjust for the new cwd by freeing any existing string and allocating a * new one. * * Registered functions are called in the order in which they were added. Note * that there's currently no way to remove a function, so make sure that the * data parameter remains valid for the rest of the program. * * The "name" argument is used only for printing trace output from * $GIT_TRACE_SETUP. It may be NULL, but if non-NULL should point to * storage which lasts as long as the registration is active. */ typedef void (*chdir_notify_callback)(const char *name, const char *old_cwd, const char *new_cwd, void *data); void chdir_notify_register(const char *name, chdir_notify_callback cb, void *data); void chdir_notify_reparent(const char *name, char **path); /* * * Callers that want to chdir: * * chdir_notify(new_path); * * to switch to the new path and notify any callbacks. * * Note that you don't need to chdir_notify() if you're just temporarily moving * to a directory and back, as long as you don't call any subscribed code in * between (but it should be safe to do so if you're unsure). */ int chdir_notify(const char *new_cwd); /* * Reparent a relative path from old_root to new_root.
