Would some kind soul please tell me the correct way to open a file using the
hierarchial file system routines. Situation: I can use code from Sample
Code Notes telling me how to cycle through directories using CInfoPBRecs and
PBHGetCatInfo, so I have a list with filenames, dirIDs, and vRefNums. HOW
do you use HOpen to open a file knowing such information. Intuition tells me
to try:
err = HOpen(vrefnum, dirid, filename, fsRdPerm, &refnum);
But it refuses to work. I have a feeling that I'm not using the correct
info from the CinfoPBRec as I get each file's information. Right now, I
store the contents of myCPB.ioNamePtr in the filename, myCPB.ioVRefNum in the
vrefnum, and myCPB.ioDirID in dirid. I have also tried substituting
myCPB.ioFlParID as the dirid, but nothing works! Why??? What do I need from
the CInfoPBRec to open a file? Am I going to have to HSetVol and then use
regular FSOpen()?
