Appendix A: System Routines - Files 559 FCreate Declaration: WORD FCreate (char * fileName, char * typeName) Category(ies): Files Description: Create an empty file. Normally only needed if multiple files must be simultaneously opened in write mode. Return value same as FOpen. typeName is the same value normally passed to FOpen. Inputs: fileName - String pointer to name of file to create. typeName - Must point to a string of, at most, four characters that describes the file type (FS_ERROR is returned if it does not). Outputs: Same return value as FOpen. Assumptions: Same as FOpen. Side Effects: May cause heap compression or invalidate any current HSYMs. Availability: On AMS 2.00 and higher. TI-89 / TI-92 Plus Differences: None See Also: FClose, FOpen Example: static char fType = "DAT"; FILES f1, f2; if (FS_OK == FCreate("f1", fType) && FS_OK == FCreate("f2",fType)) { if (FS_OK == FOpen( "f1", &f1, FM_WRITE, fType )) { if (FS_OK == FOpen( "f2", &f2, FM_WRITE, fType )) { writeToFile( &f1 ); readFromOtherFile(); writeToFile( &f2 ); writeToFile( &f1 ); FClose( &f2 ); } FClose( &f1 ); } } TI-89 / TI-92 Plus Developer Guide Not for Distribution Beta Version January 26, 2001
