FSSpec structure

#include <Files.h>

typedef struct FSSpec { Size Offset Description

short vRefNum; 2 0 volume reference number

long parID; 4 2 directory ID of parent directory

Str63 name; 64 6 filename or directory name

} FSSpec; 70

typedef FSSpec *FSSpecPtr;

typedef FSSpec **FSSpecHandle;

typedef FSSpecPtr FSSpecArrayPtr;

Notes: The FSSpec record can describe only a file or a directory, not a volume. A

volume can be identified by its root directory, although the system software

never uses an FSSpec record to describe a volume. (The directory ID of the

root's parent directory is fsRtParID, defined in the interface files. The name

of the root directory is the same as the name of the volume.) Some of the

system software uses arrays of FSSpec records.
