NAME
       make_absolute_filename - Makes an absolute filename from a path and
       relative filename. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       char *make_absolute_filename(char *dest, const char *path, const char
       *filename, int size);

DESCRIPTION
       Makes an absolute filename from an absolute path and a relative
       filename, storing at most `size' bytes into the `dest' buffer. This is
       like calling replace_filename() and then canonicalize_filename().
       Example:

          char buf[256];
          ...
          make_absolute_filename(buf, "/usr/games/",
                                 "../temp.txt", sizeof(buf));
          /* This would create /usr/temp.txt */

RETURN VALUE
       Returns a copy of the `dest' parameter.
