File ID Routines
The File Manager provides several routines that allow you to track files using file IDs. These routines use thefidParam
variant of the HFS parameter block.
- Note
- Most applications do not need to use these routines. In general you should track files using alias records, as described in the chapter "Alias Manager" in this book. The Alias Manager uses file IDs internally as part of its search algorithms for finding the target of an alias record.
