High-Level HFS Routines
The File Manager provides a set of high-level file and directory manipulation routines that are available in all operating environments. You may need to use these routines if theFSSpecroutines are not available. You do not need to call theGestaltfunction to determine if these routines are available.Each of the high-level HFS routines allows you to specify a file or directory by providing three parameters: a volume specification, a directory specification, and a filename. See "HFS Specifications" on page 2-28 for a complete description of the many ways in which you can set these parameters to pick out a file or directory.
