INQUIRE and full path

[michael_m2]

Hello:

I see that when I use INQUIRE to get the name of a file from its unit number, it returns the full path name of the file, even if I only opened the file using its relative path name.

Is that standard Fortran behavior that can be relied upon, or is that just the way Intel implements the function? (I realize that I could use GETFULLPATHQQ if I wanted to, but I'm just curiouus about the way INQUIRE works.)

Thanks.

The standard says that the string returned can be used to open the file. I would not necessarily rely on it being a full path, but that's what our implementation does.

OK. Thanks for your quick reply!
