MyFSD_FindClose (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/26/2014

This function closes the specified search handle. The MyFSD_FindFirstFileW and the MyFSD_FindNextFileW functions use the search handle to locate files with a specified name. The application does not call this function directly. Instead, it uses the corresponding standard Win32 function FindClose. The File System Disk Manager (FSDMGR) determines the file system type and calls the MyFSD_FindClose implementation of the function.

Syntax

BOOL MyFSD_FindClose( 
  PSEARCH pSearch
);

Parameters

  • pSearch
    [in] Pointer to the value that a file system driver (FSD) passes to the FSDMGR_CreateSearchHandle function when creating the search handle.

Return Value

Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

An FSD exports this function if it supports the FindClose function. All FSD functions can be called on re-entry. Therefore, take this into account when developing an FSD.

FSDMGR is a DLL that manages all OS interaction with installable files systems. Each installable file system requires an FSD, which is a DLL that supports an installable file system. The name of the DLL for an FSD and the names of the functions it exports start with the name of the associated installable file system. For example, if the name of file system is MyFSD, its DLL is MyFSD.dll, and its exported functions are prefaced with MyFSD_*.

FSDMGR provides service functions to FSDs. The FSDMGR_RegisterVolume, the FSDMGR_CreateFileHandle, and the FSDMGR_CreateSearchHandle functions record a DWORD of volume-specific data that an FSD associates with volume. This volume-specific data is passed as the first parameter of these three functions.

Applications that access an installable file system use standard Win32 functions. For example, when an application creates a folder on a device that contains an installable file system, it calls the CreateDirectory function. FSDMGR recognizes that the path is to a device containing an installable file system and calls the appropriate function, which in the case of the MyFSD file system is MyFSD_CreateDirectoryW. That is, the application calls CreateDirectory, causing FSDMGR to call **MyFSD_CreateDirectoryW.

After this function is called, the handle specified by hFindFile cannot be used in subsequent calls to either the MyFSD_FindNextFileW function or this function.
