Description

Moves the read or write pointer according to the type of move specified.

Syntax

#define INCL_DOSFILEMGR
#include <os2.h>

HFILE     hFile;               /*  The handle returned by a previous DosOpen function. */
LONG      ib;                  /*  The signed distance (offset) to move, in bytes. */
ULONG     method;              /*  The method of moving. */
PULONG    ibActual;            /*  Address of the new pointer location. */
FHLOCK    fhFileHandleLockID;  /*  The filehandle lockid returned by a previous DosProtectOpen. */
APIRET    ulrc;                /*  Return Code. */

ulrc = DosProtectSetFilePtr(hFile, ib, method, ibActual, fhFileHandleLockID);

Parameters

hFile (HFILE) - input 
The handle returned by a previous DosOpen function.
ib (LONG) - input 
The signed distance (offset) to move, in bytes.
method (ULONG) - input 
The method of moving.

This field specifies the location in the file at which the read/write pointer starts before adding the ib offset. The values and their meanings are as shown in the following list:

   FILE_BEGIN 
   Move the pointer from the beginning of the file.

   FILE_CURRENT
   Move the pointer from the current location of the read/write pointer.

   FILE_END
   Move the pointer from the end of the file. Use this method to determine a file's size. 
ibActual (PULONG) - output 
Address of the new pointer location.
fhFileHandleLockID (FHLOCK) - input 
The filehandle lockid returned by a previous DosProtectOpen.

Return Code

ulrc (APIRET) - returns

DosProtectSetFilePtr returns one of the following values:

  • 0 NO_ERROR
  • 1 ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION
  • 6 ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
  • 132 ERROR_SEEK_ON_DEVICE
  • 131 ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK
  • 130 ERROR_DIRECT_ACCESS_HANDLE

Remarks

The read/write pointer in a file is a signed 32-bit number. A negative value for ib moves the pointer backward in the file; a positive value moves it forward. DosProtectSetFilePtr cannot be used to move to a negative position in the file.

DosProtectSetFilePtr cannot be used for a character device or pipe.

Example Code

This example opens or creates and opens a file named "DOSPROT.DAT", writes a string to it, returns the file pointer to the beginning of the file, reads it, and finally closes it using DosProtect functions.
