OS_Dor, The DOR interface

Register parameters

RST 20H, DEFB $87
IN:
     A = reason code
     HL, IX arguments

     Reason codes are as follows:

     DR_GET ($01)   get handle for a DOR name (internal use)
     DR_DUP ($02)   duplicate DOR
     DR_SIB ($03)   return brother DOR
     DR_SON ($04)   return child DOR
     DR_FRE ($05)   free DOR handle
     DR_CRE ($06)   create blank DOR
     DR_DEL ($07)   delete DOR
     DR_INS ($08)   insert DOR
     DR_RD  ($09)   read DOR record
     DR_WR  ($0A)   write DOR record
	 DR_OP  ($0B)   open explicit filename (OZ 5.0 and newer)
     DR_USE ($0C)   handle in use (OZ 5.0 and newer)

OUT, if call successful:
     Fc = 0
     returned values depend on A(in)

OUT, if call failed:
     Fc = 1
     A = error code:
          RC_HAND ($08), bad handle
          RC_BAD ($04), bad argument
          RC_ROOM ($07), no room
          RC_EOF ($09), end of file

Registers changed after return:
     not documented. 

Notes

When the last DOR record in a list has been read, an RC_EOF is reported and the handle is immediatly released, ie. it will not be necessary to release the handle with a DR_FRE call.

Bugs

Corrupts the stack pointer SP when called with an old handle, e.g. when a previous DR_ call resulted in a "End of list" error (RC_EOF).

Reason code specifications

DR_GET ($01), get a handle for a DOR name (internal usage)
 IN: -

OUT, if call successful:
     Fc = 0
     IX = DOR handle

Registers changed after return:

     AF....../IX.. different

Note

  • Operating system only. Do not use this call.
  • Instead use OS_Dor / DR_OP or GN_Opf / OP_DOR to obtain a DOR handle.

Registers changed after return:
     ...CDE.. / ..IY same
     AFB...HL / IX.. different

Notes

  • This call is the optimized equivalent of GN_Opf / OP_DOR. It is used by GN_Opf itself and allows a faster file open.
  • It is recommended to use this call before making file DOR operation like reading filename, timestamp...
  • It always create a device type handle ($01) which is required to perform DOR header operation. Type can be changed by calling OS_Fn / FN_CH (in order to perform file I/O).
  • API call implemented in OZ 5.0

     IX = DOR handle

OUT, if call successful:
     Fc = 0, handle or device is NOT already in use

     Fc = 1, original IX is still valid
     A = error code
          RC_USE, already in use

Registers changed after return:
     ..BCDEHL/IXIY same
     .F....../.... different
