// RegisterFileLibs is public access to a private (SPI) routine for the Code Fragment Manager. |
// It allows you to register files and folders that would not otherwise be considered as |
// potential import libraries. It does not cause anything to be actually loaded, just noted |
// for later use when resolving imports. This is intended be used only in cases where the |
// import library cannot be in a file of type 'shlb' or cannot be kept in one of the folders |
// normally searched for import libraries. A common example is bundling an import library |
// with an INIT, CDEV, etc.; having one file instead of two simplifies distribution. |
// |
// You may register both files and folders. Other than location and file type, registered |
// files must otherwise be normal import libraries. In particular they must have a 'cfrg' |
// resource of ID 0. Registered folders will be searched in the normal manner, i.e. for files |
// of type 'shlb'. This folder search is dynamic, if you drag new libraries into the folder |
// after it is registered they will be seen. Alias files may be registered. The alias will |
// be resolved at the time of registration. If the destination is offline the user will not |
// be prompted for a name and password; guest mounts will work. The file specification passed |
// in must have the actual volume reference number, parent directory ID, and a simple name. |
// |
// *** This is being made available here as an interim measure. The final API may differ, |
// *** however existing binaries will continue to be supported. |

pascal OSErr UnregisterFileLibs ( FSSpecPtr fileSpec ); |
// The file specification in both cases must be direct, i.e. it must have proper volume and |
// parent directory infromation and the name must be a simple file name (not a path). One |
// way to ensure this is to have FSMakeFSSpec fill in the file specification for you. |
