FSH_CANONICALIZE

This function converts a path name to a canonical form by processing '.'s and '..'s, uppercasing, and prepending the current directory to non-absolute paths.

Syntax

FSH_CANONICALIZE(pPathName, cbPathBuf, pPathBuf, pFlags)

Parameters

pPathName: is a pointer to the ASCIIZ path name to be canonicalized.
cbPathBuf: is the length of path name buffer.
pPathBuf: is the pointer to the buffer into which to copy the canonicalized path.
pFlags: is the pointer to flags returned to the FSD.; Flags == 0x0040 indicates a non-8.3 filename format. All other values are reserved.

Returns

If no error is detected, a zero error code is returned. If an error is detected, one of the following error codes is returned:

ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND : is an invalid path name-too many '..'s
ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW : the path name is too long.

Calling Sequence

int far pascal FSH_CANONICALIZE(pPathName, cbPathBuf, pPathBuf, pFlags)

char far * pPathName;
unsigned short cbPathBuf;
char far * pPathBuf;
unsigned short far * pFlags;

Remarks

This routine processes DBCS characters properly.

The FSD is responsible for verifying the string pointers and checking for segment boundaries.

FSH_CANONICALIZE should be called for names passed into the FSD raw data packets. For example, names passed to FS_FSCTL in the parameter area should be passed to FSH_CANONICALIZE. This routine does not need to be called for explicit names passed to the FSD, that is, the name passed to FS_OPENCREATE.

If the canonicalized name is being created as a file or directory, the non-8.3 attribute in the directory entry should be set according to the value returned in pFlags.

Note: OS/2 does not validate input parameters. Therefore, an FSD should call FSH_PROBEBUF where appropriate.
