About DosPacket "ACTION_CURRENT_VOLUME" (Solved)

Hi,

According to "dos/extents.h" "ACTION_CURRENT_VOLUME" is deprecated. Ok, but what exactly did it return and what is the alternative/OS4.0 way of obtaining that same info?

Regards
OldFart

Re: About DosPacket "ACTION_CURRENT_VOLUME" (Solved)

Hi,

I may have solved this puzzle by invoking IDOS->FindDosEntry(). Results are looking good

Part of the code applied:

  1. struct VolumeNode *VN;
  2.  
  3.  (__PD)->pd_DosList = IDOS->LockDosList(LDF_DEVICES | LDF_VOLUMES | LDF_READ);
  4.  
  5.  while (((__PD)->pd_DosList = IDOS->NextDosEntry((__PD)->pd_DosList, LDF_DEVICES)) != NULL)
  6.   {
  7.    if (
  8.        ((__DN)->dn_Startup != ZERO) &&
  9.        ((__DN)->dn_Port    != NULL) &&
  10.        ((VN =(struct VolumeNode *)IDOS->FindDosEntry((__PD)->pd_DosList, (CONST_STRPTR)_CSTR((__DN)->dn_Name), LDF_VOLUMES)) != NULL)
  11.       )
  12.     {
  13.      /*
  14.      ** Perform further madzjiq here...
  15.      */
  16.     }
  17.   }
  18.  
  19.  IDOS->UnLockDosList(LDF_DEVICES | LDF_VOLUMES | LDF_READ);
