DosProtectSetFileSize
From EDM2
Contents
Description
Changes the size of a file.
Syntax
#define INCL_DOSFILEMGR #include <os2.h> HFILE hFile; /* Handle of the file whose size to be changed. */ ULONG cbSize; /* New size, in bytes, of the file. */ FHLOCK fhFileHandleLockID; /* The filehandle lockid obtained from DosProtectOpen. */ APIRET ulrc; /* Return Code. */ ulrc = DosProtectSetFileSize(hFile, cbSize, fhFileHandleLockID);
Parameters
- hFile (HFILE) - input
- Handle of the file whose size to be changed.
- cbSize (ULONG) - input
- New size, in bytes, of the file.
- fhFileHandleLockID (FHLOCK) - input
- The filehandle lockid obtained from DosProtectOpen.
Return Code
ulrc (APIRET) - returns
DosProtectSetFileSize returns one of the following values:
- 0 NO_ERROR
- 5 ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
- 6 ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
- 26 ERROR_NOT_DOS_DISK
- 33 ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION
- 87 ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
- 112 ERROR_DISK_FULL
Remarks
When DosProtectSetFileSize is issued, the file must be open in a mode that allows write access.
The size of the open file can be truncated or extended. If the file size is being extended, the file system tries to allocate additional bytes in a contiguous (or nearly contiguous) space on the medium. The values of the new bytes are undefined.
Example Code
This example writes to a file named "DOSPMAN.DAT", resets the buffer, and changes the size of the file using DosProtect functions.
#define INCL_DOSFILEMGR /* File Manager values */ #define INCL_DOSERRORS /* DOS Error values */ #include <os2.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(VOID) { HFILE hfFileHandle = 0L; /* Handle for file being manipulated */ ULONG ulAction = 0; /* Action taken by DosOpen */ FHLOCK FileHandleLock = 0; /* File handle lock */ ULONG ulWrote = 0; /* Number of bytes written by DosWrite */ UCHAR uchFileName[20] = "dospman.dat", /* Name of file */ uchFileData[4] = "DATA"; /* Data to write to file */ APIRET rc = NO_ERROR; /* Return code */ /* Open the file dosman.dat. Use an existing file or create a new */ /* one if it doesn't exist. */ rc = DosProtectOpen(uchFileName, &hfFileHandle, &ulAction, 4L, FILE_ARCHIVED | FILE_NORMAL, OPEN_ACTION_CREATE_IF_NEW | OPEN_ACTION_OPEN_IF_EXISTS, OPEN_FLAGS_NOINHERIT | OPEN_SHARE_DENYNONE | OPEN_ACCESS_READWRITE, 0L, &FileHandleLock); if (rc != NO_ERROR) { printf("DosOpen error: return code = %u\n", rc); return 1; } rc = DosProtectWrite (hfFileHandle, (PVOID) uchFileData, sizeof (uchFileData), &ulWrote, FileHandleLock); if (rc != NO_ERROR) { printf("DosWrite error: return code = %u\n", rc); return 1; } rc = DosResetBuffer (hfFileHandle); if (rc != NO_ERROR) { printf("DosResetBuffer error: return code = %u\n", rc); return 1; } /* endif */ rc = DosProtectSetFileSize (hfFileHandle, 8L, FileHandleLock); if (rc != NO_ERROR) { printf("DosSetFileSize error: return code = %u\n", rc); return 1; } return NO_ERROR; }
