PathIsFileSpecA function

-description

Searches a path for any path-delimiting characters (for example, ':' or '' ). If there are no path-delimiting characters present, the path is considered to be a File Spec path.

-parameters

-param pszPath [in]

Type: LPCTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated string of maximum length MAX_PATH that contains the path to be searched.

-returns

Type: BOOL

Returns TRUE if there are no path-delimiting characters within the path, or FALSE if there are path-delimiting characters.

-remarks

Note

The shlwapi.h header defines PathIsFileSpec as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
