Allows a server to adopt an already open file from a client. The client's RFs and RFile handles are contained in message slots within aMsg.

Assumes that the client's RFs and RFile handles have been sent to the server using TransferToServer() .

This RFile will own it's RFs session so that when the sub-session ( RFile ) is closed so will the RFs session.

Creates and opens a new file for writing.

If the file already exists, an error is returned.

If the resulting path does not exist, then the operation cannot proceed and the function returns an error code.

Notes:

1. To close the file, use Close()

2. It automatically sets the file's archive attribute.

Opens an existing file for reading or writing.

If the file does not already exist, an error is returned.

Notes:

1. To close the file, use Close()

2. Attempting to open a file with the read-only attribute using the EFileWrite access mode results in an error.

3. Attempting to open a file which is greater than or equal to 2GByte (2,147,483,648 bytes) will fail with KErrTooBig

4. After a file has been opened, the current write position is set to the start of the file. If necessary, use RFile::Seek() to move to a different position within the file.

Reads from the file at the current position.

This is a synchronous function.

Note that when an attempt is made to read beyond the end of the file, no error is returned. The descriptor's length is set to the number of bytes read into it. Therefore, when reading through a file,the end of file has been reached when the descriptor length, as returned by TDesC8::Length() , is zero.

TDesC8::Length

Reads from the file at the current position.

This is an asynchronous function.

Note that when an attempt is made to read beyond the end of the file, no error is returned. The descriptor's length is set to the number of bytes read into it. Therefore, when reading through a file,the end of file has been reached when the descriptor length, as returned by TDesC8::Length() , is zero.

TDesC8::Length

Reads the specified number of bytes of binary data from the file at the current position.

This is a synchronous function.

Note that when an attempt is made to read beyond the end of the file, no error is returned. The descriptor's length is set to the number of bytes read into it. Therefore, when reading through a file,the end of file has been reached when the descriptor length, as returned by TDesC8::Length() , is zero. Assuming aLength is less than the maximum length of the descriptor, the only circumstance in which Read() can return fewer bytes than requested, is when the end of file is reached or if an error occurs.

Reads a specified number of bytes of binary data from the file at the current position.

Reads from the file at the specified offset within the file

This is a synchronous function.

Note that when an attempt is made to read beyond the end of the file, no error is returned. The descriptor's length is set to the number of bytes read into it. Therefore, when reading through a file, the end of file has been reached when the descriptor length, as returned by TDesC8::Length() , is zero.

Note: 1. This function over-rides the base class function RFile::Read and inlines the base class RFile::Read . 2. The difference is that this function can read beyond 2GB - 1 when aPos + length of aDes is beyond 2GB - 1. 3. This function is protected using _F32_STRICT_64_BIT_MIGRATION macro to help migration to 64 bit file addressing. When the macro is defined, this function becomes a private overload and hence use of TInt RFile64::Read(TInt64 aPos,TDes8& aDes) const is recommended.

Opens a file for writing, replacing the content of any existing file of the same name if it exists, or creating a new file if it does not exist.

If the resulting path exists, then:

If the resulting path does not exist, then the operation cannot proceed and the function returns an error code.

Notes:

Sets the the current file position.

The function can also be used to get the current file position without changing it. The file position is the position at which reading and writing takes place. The start of the file is position zero.

To retrieve the current file position without changing it, specify ESeekCurrent for the seek mode, and zero for the offset.

If the seek mode is ESeekStart, then:

1. the function does not modify the aPos argument,

2. the function returns an error if the offset specified is negative.

If the seek mode is ESeekAddress, an error is returned if:

1. the file is not in ROM,

2. the offset specified is greater than the size of the file.

Gets the current file size.

Creates and opens a temporary file with a unique name for writing and reading.

Notes:

1. To close the file, use Close()
