Re: [MiNT] {SPAM ? } Re: System call bindings
Before opendir like, there was only Fsfirst/Fsnext able, with Mint come
opendir unix like. For me Fsfirst is more easy to understand than
opendir solution, and I still use it.
This is your choice.
Older programs never know that
Pdomain() exist, so they don't use it, and in my documentation look at
this from Compendium (perhaps wrong doc):
...
I don't know if someone can understand this but here something more
interesting in comments:
Process domain affects system calls like* (...)
*Fsfirst()*, and *Fsnext()*. (...)
> When processes run under the *MiNT* domain, however, (...)
*Fsfirst()* and *Fsnext()* may not
necessarily return the standard *DOS* 8 + 3 file name format.
The Compendium is simply wrong here.
Modern softwares use modern calls, old software have no idea of new
calls, so for me Pdomain() is an elegant way to solve problem of
Fsfirst/Fsnext,
What "problem"?
Notice I have not see anywhere the way to know if long
filename are support or not?
What about Dpathconf() ?
