Apertura di un file per la lettura o la scrittura

La funzione CreateFile può creare un nuovo file o aprire un file esistente. È necessario specificare il nome del file, le istruzioni di creazione e altri attributi. Quando un'applicazione crea un nuovo file, il sistema operativo lo aggiunge alla directory specificata.

Esempio: aprire un file per la scrittura

Nell'esempio seguente viene usato CreateFile per creare un nuovo file e aprirlo per la scrittura e writeFile per scrivere una stringa semplice in modo sincrono nel file.

Una chiamata successiva per aprire questo file con CreateFile avrà esito negativo fino alla chiusura dell'handle.

Esempio: Aprire un file per la lettura

L'esempio seguente usa CreateFile per aprire un file esistente per la lettura e readFile per leggere fino a 80 caratteri in modo sincrono dal file.

In questo caso , CreateFile ha esito positivo solo se il file specificato esiste già nella directory corrente. Una chiamata successiva per aprire questo file con CreateFile avrà esito positivo se la chiamata usa le stesse modalità di accesso e condivisione.

Suggerimento: è possibile usare il file creato con l'esempio WriteFile precedente per testare questo esempio.
