Exported Data
|
|
|
|
const char *hfs_error;
|
|
|
|
This contains a pointer to a C string describing the last HFS error.
|
|
It is generally only valid after an HFS routine has returned an error
|
|
code (-1 or a NULL pointer).
|
|
|
|
This string is encoded using ISO 8859-1.
|
|
|
|
In all cases when an error occurs, the global variable `errno' is also
|
|
set to an appropriate value.
|
|
|
|
unsigned char hfs_charorder[];
|
|
|
|
This array contains the relative sorting order of characters in HFS
|
|
filenames according to the semantics of the Macintosh character set
|
|
and the MacOS string comparison routines as used by HFS. The array can
|
|
be indexed by unsigned character quantities; the resulting value can be
|
|
compared to other array values to determine the relative sorting order
|
|
of the corresponding character indices.

Public Routines
|
|
|
|
----- Volume Routines -----
|
|
|
|
hfsvol *hfs_mount(const char *path, int pnum, int flags);
|
|
|
|
This routine attempts to open an HFS volume from a source pathname. The
|
|
given `pnum' indicates which ordinal HFS partition is to be mounted,
|
|
or can be 0 to indicate the entire medium should be mounted (ignoring
|
|
any partition structure). If this value is not 0, the requested
|
|
partition must exist.
|
|
|
|
The `flags' argument specifies how the volume should be mounted.
|
|
HFS_MODE_RDONLY means the volume should be mounted read-only.
|
|
HFS_MODE_RDWR means the volume must be opened read/write. HFS_MODE_ANY
|
|
means the volume can be mounted either read-only or read/write, with
|
|
preference for the latter.
|
|
|
|
The `flags' argument may also specify volume options. HFS_OPT_NOCACHE
|
|
means not to perform any internal block caching, such as would be
|
|
unnecessary for a volume residing in RAM, or if the associated overhead
|
|
is not desired. HFS_OPT_ZERO means that newly-allocated blocks should be
|
|
zero-initialized before use, primarily as a security feature for systems
|
|
on which blocks may otherwise contain random data. Neither of these
|
|
options should normally be necessary, and both may affect performance.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns NULL. Otherwise a pointer to a
|
|
volume structure is returned. This pointer is used to access the volume
|
|
and must eventually be passed to hfs_umount() to flush and close the
|
|
volume and free all associated memory.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_flush(hfsvol *vol);
|
|
|
|
This routine causes all pending changes to be flushed to an HFS volume.
|
|
If a volume is kept open for a long period of time, it would be wise
|
|
to call this periodically to avoid corrupting the volume due to
|
|
unforeseen circumstances (power failure, floppy eject, etc.)
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
void hfs_flushall(void);
|
|
|
|
This routine is similar to hfs_flush() except that all mounted volumes
|
|
are flushed, and errors are not reported.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_umount(hfsvol *vol);
|
|
|
|
The specified HFS volume is unmounted; all open files and directories
|
|
on the volume are closed, all pending changes to the volume are
|
|
flushed, and all memory allocated for the volume is freed.
|
|
|
|
All volumes opened with hfs_mount() must eventually be closed with
|
|
hfs_umount(), or they will risk corruption.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
In either case, the volume structure pointer will become invalid, as
|
|
will all pointers to open file or directory structures associated with
|
|
the volume.
|
|
|
|
void hfs_umountall(void);
|
|
|
|
This routine is similar to hfs_umount() except that all mounted volumes
|
|
are closed, and errors are not reported.
|
|
|
|
This routine may be useful to call just before a process terminates to
|
|
make sure any remaining open volumes are properly closed.
|
|
|
|
hfsvol *hfs_getvol(const char *name);
|
|
|
|
This routines searches all mounted volumes for one having the given
|
|
`name', and returns its volume structure pointer. If more than one
|
|
volume have the same name, the most recently mounted one is returned. If
|
|
no volume matches the given name, a NULL pointer is returned.
|
|
|
|
The given `name' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If a NULL pointer is passed to this routine, the current volume is
|
|
returned, if any.
|
|
|
|
void hfs_setvol(hfsvol *vol);
|
|
|
|
The routine changes the "current" volume. Most HFS routines will accept
|
|
a NULL volume pointer to mean the current volume; by default, the
|
|
current volume is the last one which was mounted.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_vstat(hfsvol *vol, hfsvolent *ent);
|
|
|
|
This routine fills the volume entity structure `*ent' with information
|
|
about a mounted volume. The fields of the structure are defined in
|
|
the hfs.h header file.
|
|
|
|
This routine returns 0 unless a NULL pointer is passed for the volume
|
|
and no volume is current, in which case it returns -1.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_vsetattr(hfsvol *vol, hfsvolent *ent);
|
|
|
|
This routine allows some attributes of a volume to be changed. The
|
|
attributes which may be changed are: ent->clumpsz, ent->crdate,
|
|
ent->mddate, ent->bkdate, and ent->blessed. Note that the default file
|
|
clump size may only be changed to be a multiple of the volume's
|
|
allocation block size, and the "blessed" folder must either be 0 or a
|
|
valid folder CNID.
|
|
|
|
To change the volume's name, use hfs_rename().
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
----- Directory Routines -----
|
|
|
|
int hfs_chdir(hfsvol *vol, const char *path);
|
|
|
|
The "current working directory" for the given volume is changed.
|
|
`path' can be either a relative or absolute HFS path.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
long hfs_getcwd(hfsvol *vol);
|
|
|
|
The internal directory ID of the current working directory for the
|
|
given volume is returned. This value is typically only useful for
|
|
passing to hfs_setcwd() or hfs_dirinfo().
|
|
|
|
int hfs_setcwd(hfsvol *vol, long id);
|
|
|
|
This routine changes the current working directory for the given
|
|
volume. A directory must exist with the given id.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_dirinfo(hfsvol *vol, long *id, char *name);
|
|
|
|
This function looks up the given directory ID `*id' and stores in its
|
|
place the directory ID of its parent. If `name' is not NULL, the name
|
|
of the (child) directory is also stored in the buffer pointed to by it,
|
|
which must be at least HFS_MAX_FLEN + 1 (32) bytes long.
|
|
|
|
The string `name' will be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
This function can be called repeatedly to construct a full pathname
|
|
to the current working directory. The root directory of a volume
|
|
always has a directory ID of HFS_CNID_ROOTDIR, and a pseudo-parent ID
|
|
of HFS_CNID_ROOTPAR.
|
|
|
|
hfsdir *hfs_opendir(hfsvol *vol, const char *path);
|
|
|
|
This function prepares to read the contents of a directory. `path'
|
|
must be either an absolute or relative pathname to the desired HFS
|
|
directory. As a special case, if `path' is an empty string, a
|
|
"meta-directory" will be opened containing the root directories from
|
|
all of the currently mounted volumes.
|
|
|
|
The string `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
This function returns a pointer which must be passed to the other
|
|
directory-related routines to read the directory.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns a NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_readdir(hfsdir *dir, hfsdirent *ent);
|
|
|
|
This routine fills the directory entity structure `*ent' with
|
|
information about the next item in the given open directory. The
|
|
fields of the structure are defined in the hfs.h header file.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
When no more items occur in the directory, this function returns -1
|
|
and sets `errno' to ENOENT.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_closedir(hfsdir *dir);
|
|
|
|
This function closes an open directory and frees all associated
|
|
memory.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
In either case, the directory structure pointer will no longer be valid.
|
|
|
|
----- File Routines -----
|
|
|
|
hfsfile *hfs_create(hfsvol *vol, const char *path,
|
|
const char *type, const char *creator);
|
|
|
|
This routine creates a new, empty file with the given path, type, and
|
|
creator. The type and creator must be strings of length 4, and have
|
|
particular meaning under MacOS.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If the creation is successful, the file is opened and a pointer to a
|
|
file structure is returned, the same as if hfs_open() had been called.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns a NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
hfsfile *hfs_open(hfsvol *vol, const char *path);
|
|
|
|
This function opens an HFS file in preparation for I/O. Both forks of
|
|
the file may be manipulated once the file is opened; hfs_setfork() is
|
|
used to select the current fork. By default, the data fork is current.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
A pointer to a file structure is returned. This pointer should be
|
|
passed to other routines to manipulate the file.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns a NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_setfork(hfsfile *file, int fork);
|
|
|
|
This routine selects the current fork in an open file for I/O. HFS
|
|
files have two forks, data and resource. Resource forks normally contain
|
|
structured data, although these HFS routines make no distinction
|
|
between forks when reading or writing. It is up to higher-level
|
|
applications to make sense of the information read or written from
|
|
either fork.
|
|
|
|
If 0 is passed to this routine, the data fork is selected. Otherwise
|
|
the resource fork is selected. The seek pointer for the file is
|
|
automatically reset to the beginning of the newly selected fork.
|
|
|
|
As a side effect, this routine causes any excess disk blocks allocated
|
|
for the fork which was current before the call to be freed; normally
|
|
extra blocks are allocated during file writes to promote contiguity.
|
|
This routine will return -1 if an error occurs in this process;
|
|
otherwise it will return 0. The current fork will have been changed
|
|
regardless.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_getfork(hfsfile *file);
|
|
|
|
This routine returns an indication of which fork is currently active
|
|
for I/O operations on the given file. If 0 is returned, the data fork
|
|
is selected. Otherwise the resource fork is selected.
|
|
|
|
long hfs_read(hfsfile *file, void *ptr, unsigned long len);
|
|
|
|
This routine reads up to `len' bytes from the current fork of an HFS
|
|
file and places them into the buffer pointed to by `ptr' (which must be
|
|
at least `len' bytes long.) The number of bytes actually read is
|
|
returned, and may be less than `len' if the end of the file is reached.
|
|
|
|
If this routine returns 0, there is no more data to be read from the
|
|
file. If an error occurs, this routine will return -1.
|
|
|
|
It is most efficient to read data in multiples of HFS_BLOCKSZ byte
|
|
blocks at a time.
|
|
|
|
long hfs_write(hfsfile *file, const void *ptr, unsigned long len);
|
|
|
|
This routine writes up to `len' bytes of data to the current fork of an
|
|
HFS file from the buffer pointed to by `ptr'. The number of bytes
|
|
actually written is returned. If an error occurs, this routine will
|
|
return -1.
|
|
|
|
If the end of the file is reached before all bytes have been written,
|
|
the file is automatically extended.
|
|
|
|
It is most efficient to write data in multiples of HFS_BLOCKSZ byte
|
|
blocks at a time.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_truncate(hfsfile *file, unsigned long len);
|
|
|
|
This routine causes the current fork of the specified open file to be
|
|
truncated to at most `len' bytes.
|
|
|
|
The disk blocks associated with the freed portion of the file are not
|
|
actually deallocated until either the current fork is changed or the
|
|
file is closed.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
long hfs_seek(hfsfile *file, long offset, int from);
|
|
|
|
This routine changes the current seek pointer for the specified open
|
|
file. This pointer determines where the next call to hfs_read() or
|
|
hfs_write() will read or write data within the current fork.
|
|
|
|
If `from' is HFS_SEEK_SET, the pointer is set to the absolute position
|
|
given by `offset'.
|
|
|
|
If `from' is HFS_SEEK_CUR, the pointer is offset from its current
|
|
position by the amount `offset'. Positive offsets seek forward; negative
|
|
offsets seek backward.
|
|
|
|
If `from' is HFS_SEEK_END, the pointer is offset from the end of the
|
|
file by the amount `offset', which ought not be positive.
|
|
|
|
It is not presently possible to set the seek pointer beyond the logical
|
|
end of the file.
|
|
|
|
The new absolute position of the seek pointer is returned, unless an
|
|
invalid argument was specified, in which case -1 is returned.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_close(hfsfile *file);
|
|
|
|
This routine causes all pending changes to the specified file to be
|
|
flushed, and all storage associated with the file structure to be
|
|
freed. Any excess disk blocks associated with the file are also
|
|
deallocated at this time.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this routine returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
In either case, the file structure pointer will no longer be valid.
|
|
|
|
----- Catalog Routines -----
|
|
|
|
int hfs_stat(hfsvol *vol, const char *path, hfsdirent *ent);
|
|
|
|
This routine fills the directory entity structure `*ent' with
|
|
information about the file or directory specified by `path' on the
|
|
given volume. The fields of the structure are defined in the hfs.h
|
|
header file.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If there is no such path, or if another error occurs, this routine
|
|
returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_fstat(hfsfile *file, hfsdirent *ent);
|
|
|
|
This routine is similar to hfs_stat() except it returns information
|
|
about a file that is already open.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this routine returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_setattr(hfsvol *vol, const char *path, const hfsdirent *ent);
|
|
|
|
This routine changes various attributes of an existing file or
|
|
directory. The attributes which may be changed are: ent->crdate,
|
|
ent->mddate, ent->bkdate, ent->fdflags, ent->fdlocation,
|
|
ent->u.file.type, ent->u.file.creator, and ent->u.dir.rect. Also, the
|
|
locked status of a file may be changed with ent->flags & HFS_ISLOCKED.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this routine returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_fsetattr(hfsfile *file, const hfsdirent *ent);
|
|
|
|
This routine is similar to hfs_setattr() except it manipulates a file
|
|
that is already open.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this routine returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_mkdir(hfsvol *vol, const char *path);
|
|
|
|
This routine creates a new, empty directory with the given path.
|
|
All parent directories must already exist, but there must not already
|
|
be a file or directory with the complete given path.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_rmdir(hfsvol *vol, const char *path);
|
|
|
|
This routine deletes the directory with the given path. The directory
|
|
must be empty.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_delete(hfsvol *vol, const char *path);
|
|
|
|
This routine deletes both forks of the file with the given path.
|
|
|
|
The given `path' is assumed to be encoded using MacOS Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_rename(hfsvol *vol, const char *srcpath, const char *dstpath);
|
|
|
|
This routine moves and/or renames the given `srcpath' to `dstpath'.
|
|
The source must exist; the destination must not exist, unless it is a
|
|
directory, in which case an attempt will be made to move the source
|
|
into the destination directory without changing its name.
|
|
|
|
If both `srcpath' and `dstpath' refer to root directories, the volume
|
|
specified by `srcpath' will be renamed. Note that volume names may
|
|
only have 1-27 (HFS_MAX_VLEN) characters, while all other names may
|
|
have 1-31 (HFS_MAX_FLEN) characters.
|
|
|
|
The given `srcpath' and `dstpath' are assumed to be encoded using MacOS
|
|
Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
----- Media Routines -----
|
|
|
|
int hfs_zero(const char *path, unsigned int maxparts,
|
|
unsigned long *blocks);
|
|
|
|
This routine initializes a medium with a new, empty driver descriptor
|
|
record and partition map. This is only necessary if it is desired to
|
|
partition the medium; the medium can be used as a whole without
|
|
partitions by specifying 0 to the routines which require a partition
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
The partition map will be empty, with the exception of an entry for the
|
|
partition map itself, plus an entry for the rest of the medium as free
|
|
space. To be useful, one or more HFS partitions should be created with
|
|
hfs_mkpart().
|
|
|
|
The partition map will be created just large enough to allow `maxparts'
|
|
individual partitions to be created, not counting the partitions created
|
|
automatically by this routine. This number should be conservative, as
|
|
it may be impossible to create more than this many partitions for the
|
|
lifetime of the medium without re-initializing.
|
|
|
|
If `blocks' is not NULL, the total number of blocks available for
|
|
partitioning (after the partition map structures have been created) will
|
|
be stored at this location.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_mkpart(const char *path, unsigned long len);
|
|
|
|
This routine creates a new HFS partition having `len' blocks on the
|
|
given medium. Space for the partition will be taken from the available
|
|
free space as indicated in the existing partition map.
|
|
|
|
It may not be possible to create the requested partition if there are
|
|
not enough free contiguous blocks on the medium, or if there is only
|
|
one slot left in the partition map and the request does not specify
|
|
all the remaining blocks in the free space. (The partition map cannot
|
|
leave any blocks in the medium unaccounted for.)
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_nparts(const char *path);
|
|
|
|
This routine determines the number of HFS partitions present on the
|
|
given medium, if any. If the medium specified by `path' is not
|
|
partitioned, -1 will be returned. Otherwise, a number denoting the total
|
|
number of HFS partitions is returned, including (possibly) 0.
|
|
|
|
The number returned by this routine can help determine if a particular
|
|
medium is partitioned, and if so, the allowable range of partition
|
|
numbers which can be passed to the routines which require one. However,
|
|
passing 0 as a partition number always refers to the entire medium,
|
|
ignoring all partitions.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1.
|
|
|
|
int hfs_format(const char *path, int pnum, int mode, const char *vname,
|
|
int nbadblocks, const unsigned long badblocks[]);
|
|
|
|
This routine writes a new HFS file system to the specified `path', which
|
|
should be a block device or a writable file. The size of the volume is
|
|
determined either by the maximum size of the device or size of the file,
|
|
or by the size of the indicated partition within the medium.
|
|
|
|
If `pnum' is > 0, it selects an ordinal HFS partition in the device
|
|
to receive the file system. The partition must already exist; an error
|
|
will result if it cannot be found. With `pnum' == 0, any partition
|
|
structure on the existing medium will be ignored, and the entire
|
|
device will be used for the new HFS volume.
|
|
|
|
Volume options may be specified in the `mode' argument. In addition to

the options accepted by hfs_mount(), HFS_OPT_2048 may be specified to
|
|
request that the volume allocation blocks be aligned on physical
|
|
2048-byte block boundaries. Such a constraint is necessary to support
|
|
some hybrid CD-ROM file system formats, but is otherwise unnecessary and
|
|
may result in fewer allocation blocks altogether.
|
|
|
|
The volume is given the name `vname', which must be between 1 and
|
|
HFS_MAX_VLEN (27) characters in length inclusively, and cannot contain
|
|
any colons (':'). This string is assumed to be encoded using MacOS
|
|
Standard Roman.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to map out or "spare" bad blocks on the device such that
|
|
the file system will be made aware of these blocks and will not attempt
|
|
to use them to store data. To perform this magic, hfs_format() may be
|
|
passed an array of block numbers to spare. These numbers must
|
|
correspond to logical 512-byte blocks on the device and should be
|
|
relative to the beginning of the volume's partition, if any. If no
|
|
blocks need to be spared, 0 should be passed for `nbadblocks', and
|
|
`badblocks' may be a NULL pointer. Note that an error can occur if a
|
|
bad block occurs in a critical disk structure, or if there are too
|
|
many bad blocks (more than 25%) in the volume.
|
|
|
|
If an error occurs, this function returns -1. Otherwise it returns 0.
