scriptDir
Abstract
Get the directory of the loaded orc/csd file
Description
Get the directory of the loaded script (orc/csd). This is not necessarily
the same as the current working directory (which can be queried via the opcode
pwd). The pwd points at the directory
from which csound was launched, the script directory is always the directory of
the script being run. For example, if csound is launched as:
$ /home/foo/> csound subdir/myscript.csd
The current working dir is /home/foo, whereas the script directory
is /home/foo/subdir
This is useful when communicating to another process which is not aware of csound's environment and needs an absolute path to some file relative to the script being run
