HCreateResFile

Opens a file named in the spec parameter

#include <Resources.h> Resource Manager

void HCreateResFile( vRefNum, dirID, fileName);

short vRefNum ; volume reference number

long dirID ; directory ID

ConstStr255Param fileName ; filename

The HCreateResFile procedure creates a resource file in the directory

specified by the values of vRefNum and dirID. The vRefNum parameter contains

the volume reference number of the volume on which the file is located. The

dirID parameter contains the directory ID of the directory where the file is

located. The string passed in the fileName parameter is the name of the

resource file. Call the ResError function to check for errors.

Returns: an Error Code. It will be one of:

dirFulErr (-33) Directory full

dskFulErr (-34) Disk full

nsvErr (-35) No such volume

ioErr (-36) I/O error

bdNamErr (-37) There may be no bad names in the final system

tmfoErr (-42) Too many files open

wPrErr (-44) Disk is write-protected

fLckdErr (-45) File is locked

vLckdErr (-46) Volume is locked

dupFNErr (-48) Duplicate filename (rename)

opWrErr (-49) File already open with write permission

extFSErr (-58) Volume belongs to an external file system

dirNFErr (-120) Directory not found

The FSpOpenResFile and HOpenResFile functions are alternate ways of

opening resource files using HFS. These functions are based on the

OpenResFile function, which is documented in Volume I. HOpenResFile is

a simple function designed for HFS; FSpOpenResFile uses file system

specification records.
