Chapter 7 File Manager Functions

	mgArgErr		Badly formed path or path is root directory.
	mFullErr		Insufficient memory.
FNamePtr
syntax		MgErr	FNamePtr(path, name);

FNamePtr copies the last component name of a specified path to the address specified by name. This routine does not allocate space for the returned data, so name must specify allocated memory of sufficient size to hold the component name.

Parameter	Type	Description
path	Path	Path whose last component name you want to
		determine.
name	PStr	Address at which FNamePtr stores the last
		component name as a Pascal string. This address
		must specify allocated memory of sufficient size to
		hold the name.
		See the Pointers as Parameters section of
		Chapter 1, CIN Overview, for more information
		about using this parameter.

returns		MgErr, which can contain the errors in the following list.
	Error	Description
	mgArgErr	Badly formed path or path is root directory.
	mFullErr	Insufficient memory.

FVolName

syntax MgErr FVolName(path, vol);

FVolName creates a path for the volume of a specified absolute path by removing all but the first component name from path.

Note: You can pass in the same path variable for the volume path that you use for path. Thus, the following variations for calling this function work.

err = FVolName(path, vol);

/* the parent path is returned in a second path variable */
