LZOpenFile
The LZOpenFile function creates, opens, reopens, or deletes the specified file.
INT LZOpenFile(
LPTSTR lpFileName,
| // address of name of file to be opened
| LPOFSTRUCT lpReOpenBuf,
| // address of open file structure
| WORD wStyle
| // action to take
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpFileName
Points to a string that specifies the name of a file.
lpReOpenBuf
Points to the OFSTRUCT structure that is to receive information about the file when the file is
first opened. The structure can be used in subsequent calls to the LZOpenFile function to refer to the open file.
The szPathName member of this structure contains characters from the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) character set.
wStyle
Specifies the action to take. This parameter can be a combination of the
following values:
Value
| Meaning
| OF_CANCEL
| Ignored. In the Win32-based application programming interface (API), the
OF_PROMPT style produces a dialog box containing a Cancel button.
| OF_CREATE
| Directs LZOpenFile to create a new file. If the file already exists, it is truncated to zero
length.
| OF_DELETE
| Deletes the file.
| OF_EXIST
| Opens the file and then closes it to test for a file's existence.
| OF_PARSE
| Fills the OFSTRUCT structure but carries out no other action.
| OF_PROMPT
| Displays a dialog box if the requested file does not exist. The dialog box
informs the user that Windows cannot find the file, and it contains Retry and
Cancel buttons. Choosing the Cancel button directs LZOpenFile to return a "file not found" error message.
| OF_READ
| Opens the file for reading only.
| OF_READWRITE
| Opens the file for reading and writing.
| OF_REOPEN
| Opens the file using information in the reopen buffer.
| OF_SHARE_DENY_NONE
| Opens the file without denying other processes read or write access to the
file. LZOpenFile fails if the file has been opened in compatibility mode by any other process.
| OF_SHARE_DENY_READ
| Opens the file and denies other processes read access to the file. LZOpenFile fails if the file has been opened in compatibility mode or has been opened
for read access by any other process.
| OF_SHARE_DENY_WRITE
| Opens the file and denies other processes write access to the file. LZOpenFile fails if the file has been opened in compatibility mode or has been opened
for write access by any other process.
| OF_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE
| Opens the file in exclusive mode, denying other processes both read and write
access to the file. LZOpenFile fails if the file has been opened in any other mode for read or write access,
even by the current process.
| OF_WRITE
| Opens the file for writing only.
|
Return Values
If the function succeeds and the value specified by the wStyle parameter is not OF_READ, the return value is a handle identifying the file.
If the file is compressed and opened with wStyle set to OF_READ, the return value is a special file handle.
If the function fails, the return value is an LZERROR_* code. These codes have
values less than zero. Note that LZOpenFile calls neither SetLastError nor SetLastErrorEx; thus, its failure does not affect a thread's last-error code.
Here is a list of the LZERROR_* codes that LZOpenFile can return upon failure:
Value
| Meaning
| LZERROR_BADINHANDLE
| The handle identifying the source file is not valid. The file cannot be read.
| LZERROR_GLOBALLOC
| The maximum number of open compressed files has been exceeded or local memory
cannot be allocated.
|
Remarks
If the wStyle parameter is the OF_READ flag (or OF_READ and any of the OF_SHARE_ flags) and
the file is compressed, LZOpenFile calls the LZInit function, which performs the required initialization for the decompression
operations.
The handle this function returns is compatible only with the functions in
LZEXPAND.DLL; it should not be used for other file operations.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
