File System Specification Routines
The File Manager provides a set of file and directory manipulation routines that accept file system specification records as parameters. Depending on the requirements of your application and on the environment in which it is running, you may be able to accomplish all your file and directory operations by using these routines.Before calling any of these routines, however, you should call the
Gestaltfunction to ensure that they are available in the operating environment. If these routines are not available, you can call the corresponding HFS routines. See "High-Level HFS Routines" on page 2-169 for details.
