Constructor taking a file server session.

internal helper method that deletes the (*iDir) object in the case of errors and assigns NULL to the client's pointer top it.

Gets the full file specification of a file which was found by a successful call to any of the search variants that do not accept wildcards.

The file specification includes drive, path and filename.

Notes:

1. When called after a successful search using wildcards the only valid components of the retrieved file specification are drive letter and directory.

Searches for the next file/directory.

This should be used after a successful call to FindByPath() or FindByDir() , to find the next occurrence of the filename in the path or drive list.

Using function SetFindMask it is possible to specify a combination of attributes that the drives to be searched must match.

Note:

1. After a file/directory has been found, use TFindFile::File() to get the fully qualified path and filename.

TFindFile::FindByPath TFindFile::FindByDir TFindFile::File TFindFile::SetFindMask()

Searches for a file/directory in a directory on all available drives.

The search ends when the file/directory is found, or when every available drive has been unsuccessfully searched.

Notes:

1. A drive letter may be specified in aDirPath. If a drive is specified, then that drive is searched first. If no drive is specified, then the drive specified in the session path is searched first. The remaining available drives are then searched in descending alphabetical order, from Y: to A:, and ending with the Z: drive. Using function SetFindMask it is possible to specify a combination of attributes that the drives to be searched must match.

2. For the corresponding search using wildcards, use FindWildByDir() .

3. After a file has been found, use TFindFile::File() to get the fully qualified path and filename. To search for the next occurrence, use TFindFile::Find() .

TFindFile::FindWildByDir() TFindFile::File() TFindFile::Find() TFindFile::SetFindMask()

Searches for a file/directory in one or more directories in the path.

The search ends when the file/directory is found, or when every directory specified in the path list has been unsuccessfully searched.

Notes:

1. For the equivalent search using wildcards, use FindWildByPath() .

2. After a file has been found, use TFindFile::File() to get the fully qualified path of the file. To search for the next occurrence, use TFindFile::Find() .

TFindFile::FindWildByPath TFindFile::File TFindFile::Find

Searches for the next file/directory.

This should be used after a successful call to FindWildByPath() or FindWildByDir() , for the next occurrences of the filename in the path or drive list.Using function SetFindMask it is possible to specify a combination of attributes that the drives to be searched must match.

Notes:

1. The function sets aDir to NULL, then allocates memory for it before appending entries to the list. Therefore, aDir should have no memory allocated to it before this function is called, otherwise this memory will become orphaned.

2. The caller of the function is responsible for deleting aDir after the function has returned. On error this pointer will be set NULL, thus safe to delete.

3. Calling TFindFile::File() after a successful search, will return the drive letter and the directory containing the file(s). The filenames may be retrieved via the array of TEntry::iName objects contained in aDir. If you want to retrieve the fully qualified path of a file, you will need to parse the path and the filename using the TParse class or derived classes.

out: On success a pointer to the internally allocated by this method CDir object, which in turn contains the entries for all files matching aFileName in the first directory in which a match occurred. In this case this API caller is responsible for deleting aDir. If some error occured (including KErrNotFound meaning that nothing found) this pointer will be set to NULL, which is also safe to delete.

TParse TEntry::iName TFindFile::File TFindFile::FindWildByPath TFindFile::FindWildByDir TFindFile::SetFindMask()

Searches, using wildcards, for one or more files/directories in a specified directory.

If no matching file is found in that directory, all available drives are searched in descending alphabetical order, from Y: to A:, and ending with the Z: drive.Using function SetFindMask it is possible to specify a combination of attributes that the drives to be searched must match.

The search ends when one or more matching filenames are found, or when every available drive has been unsuccessfully searched. To begin searching again after a successful match has been made, use FindWild() . Wildcards may be specified in the filename.

Notes:

1. A drive letter may be specified in aDirPath (or in aFileName). If a drive is specified, that drive is searched first, followed by the other available drives, in descending alphabetical order. If no drive is specified, the drive contained in the session path is searched first.

2. The function sets aDir to NULL, then allocates memory for it before appending entries to the list. Therefore, aDir should have no memory allocated to it before this function is called, otherwise this memory will become orphaned.

3. The caller of the function is responsible for deleting aDir after the function has returned. On error this pointer will be set NULL, thus safe to delete.

4. Calling TFindFile::File() after a successful search returns the drive letter and directory containing the file(s). Filenames may be retrieved via the array of TEntry::iNames contained in aDir. If you want to retrieve the fully qualified path of a file, you will need to parse the path and the filename.

out: On success a pointer to the internally allocated by this method CDir object, which in turn contains the entries for all files matching aFileName in the first directory in which a match occurred. In this case this API caller is responsible for deleting aDir. If some error occured (including KErrNotFound meaning that nothing found) this pointer will be set to NULL, which is also safe to delete.

TFindFile::FindWild TFindFile::File TFindFile::SetFindMask()

Searches for one or more files/directories in the directories contained in a path list.

Wildcard characters can be specified. The search ends when one or more filenames matching aFileName is found, or when every directory in the path list has been unsuccessfully searched. To begin searching again after a successful match has been made, use FindWild() .

Using function SetFindMask it is possible to specify a combination of attributes that the drives to be searched must match.

TFindFile::FindWild TFindFile::File TEntry::iName TFindFile::SetFindMask()

Can be used in order to specify a combination of drive attributes that the drives to be searched must match. When searching without specifying a mask, all drives, except the remote ones will be returned.
