Chapter 7 File Manager Functions

The function fills the (AZ) handle passed in list with a CPStr, where the cnt field specifies the number of concatenated Pascal strings that follow in the str[] field. See the Dynamic Data Types section of Chapter 5, Manager Overview, for a description of the CPStr data type. If typeH is not NULL, the function fills the AZ handle passed in typeH with the file type information for each file name or directory name stored in list.

	Parameter	Type	Description
	path	Path	Path of the directory whose contents you want to
			determine.
	list	CPStrHandle	Application zone handle in which FListDir
			stores a series of concatenated Pascal strings,
			preceded with a 4-byte integer field, cnt, that
			indicates the number of items in the buffer.
	typeH	FileType	Application zone handle in which FListDir
			stores a series of FileType records. If typeH is
			not NULL, then FListDir stores one FileType
			record in typeH for each Pascal string in list. The
			nth FileType in typeH denotes the file type
			information about the file or directory named in the
			nth string in list. See the File Manager Data
			Structures section of this chapter for a description of
			the FileType data type.

	fNotFound	Directory not found.
	fNoPerm	Access denied (file/directory/disk is locked/protected).
	mFullErr	Insufficient memory.
	fIOErr	Unspecified I/O error occurred.

FNewDir
