What is the pszFileName? palms expect Unix style paths. I use this type
of function to set up the global volRefNum which is used throughout my
system to access files on an sdcard. It looks for a known file at
/TopPath/IAmHere.DAT
Hope this helps.
bool filebase::FindVolRefNum() // look for known file
{
UInt32 volIterator = vfsIteratorStart;
FileRef _FileRef;
Err err;
if (volRefNum!=-1) return true; // was already found
while(volIterator != vfsIteratorStop)
{
err = VFSVolumeEnumerate(&volRefNum,&volIterator);
if (err==errNone)
{
// Found a volume
err =
VFSFileOpen(volRefNum,"/TOPPATH/IAMHERE.DAT",vfsModeRead,&_FileRef);
if (err==errNone) // found go.prm
{
VFSFileClose(_FileRef);
return true;
}
else
{ // couldn't open file continue on
}
}
else // couldn't open volume continue on
{
}
}
// we are done. Couldn't find compulife on system.
volRefNum = -1; // make sure
return false;
}

Subject: VFSFileOpen crash
hi all,
I am trying to open a file which is not present. The function which I am
using is
UInt16 volRefNum = 1;
FileRef fileRefP;
VFSFileOpen(volRefNum,pszFileName,vfsModeRead, &fileRefP);
Here it should return some error(as my file does not exist) but it crashes
giving message "VFSMgr.cpp(164): Got a partial path in PrvMakeIOSPath"
can anybody please tell me what is the problem?
thanks in advance.
