Chapter 2: The file I/O API

Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS3 includes a C shared library called DWfile, which lets authors of

objects, commands, behaviors, data translators, floating panels, and Property inspectors read

and write files on the local file system. This chapter describes the File I/O API and how to use it.

For general information on how C libraries interact with the JavaScript interpreter in Dream-

weaver, see “C-Level Extensibility” in

Extending Dreamweaver.

Accessing configuration folders

On Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and Mac OS X platforms, users have their own

copies of configuration files. Whenever Dreamweaver writes to a configuration file, Dream-

weaver writes it to the user’s Configuration folder. Similarly, when Dreamweaver reads a config-

uration file, Dreamweaver searches for it first in the user’s Configuration folder and then in the

Dreamweaver Configuration folder. DWfile functions use the same mechanism. In other words,

if your extension reads or writes a file in the Dreamweaver Configuration folder, your extension

also accesses the user’s Configuration folder. For more information about configuration folders

on multiuser platforms, see

Extending Dreamweaver

The file I/O API

All functions in the file I/O API are methods of the

DWfile
