These flags are located in the fdFlags field (a word at offset $28 into an HParamBlockRec) of the ioFlFndrInfo record of a parameter block. For directories, the flags are located in the frFlags field of the ioDrUsrWds record of a parameter block (also offset $28). They may change with newer versions of the Finder. Finder 7.1.1 assigns the following meanings to the flags (see the actual file). Changes since March 1988 - This version updates the meanings of several of the bits which changed in System 7 and System 7 Pro.

In order to make the RAM Status call on a machine that is setup to answer calls, you must first make the GetUserPortGlobalsPtr call to retrieve a pointer to the globals for the user port. The Apple Remote Access (ARA) 1.0 client software supports dial-out and answering capabilities through a single port called the user port (the modem or printer port on your Mac). This means that when you setup your machine to answer calls, you can answer only one call at a time on the user port. However, the underlying ARA architecture was designed so that in the future multiple ports may be supported...

First, it describes in detail how to use the GetPhysical routine. This routine is critical to the support of alternate bus masters on certain machines without Virtual Memory (VM) and all machines with VM. Included is an ancillary discussion of several closely-related VM routines. Second, it reiterates a number of issues important to VM compatibility and elucidates some of the deeper VM issues of which specialized developers should be aware. Compatibility issues are especially important for developers of SCSI drivers, NuBus master hardware, and code which runs at interrupt time.
ME 08 - System Error 33.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:ME - Memory:ME 08 - System Error 33.sit 0833 0 5K 12/07/94 System Error 33 - System 3.2 introduced a new system error, ID=33, generated by the Memory Manager when it notices that a heap had been corrupted in a certain way. This error is listed in the file SysErr.a as negZcbFreeErr.
ME 03 - MaxApplZone and.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:ME - Memory:ME 03 - MaxApplZone and.sit 03 0 4K 12/07/94 MaxApplZone and MoveHHi - When calling MaxApplZone and MoveHHi from assembly language, be sure to get the correct code.
ME 02 - Handles vs. Pointe.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:ME - Memory:ME 02 - Handles vs. Pointe.sit 02. 0 4K 12/07/94 Handles vs. Pointers - A handle is a handle and a pointer is a pointer. Applications should avoid embedding non-relocatable objects (that the system assumes will never move) in handles. In order to avoid fragmentation, some applications embed pointers (non-relocatable memory manager objects) in handles, so that the handles can be moved around as needed. This can cause several problems, especially with the Macintosh II, and should be avoided.
IC 01 - SendToSelf - Get.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:IC - IAC:IC 01 - SendToSelf - Get.sit 01 0 7K 12/07/94 If an application suspends handling of an Apple event which it sent to itself, the Apple Event Manager will return errAETimeout as the result of the AESend call. The event was still sent correctly, however, and the answer (if any) should appear later in the reply descriptor. However, a problem in system software versions 7.0 and 7.0.1 prevents applications from getting the reply data.

Changes since December 1988. Changed sample code to defer cursor rendering to a deferred task rather than a pseudo-VBL task. The Macintosh is not a real-time machine. The Macintosh does not support DMA. There are many variables in the Macintosh that make it impossible to deterministically figure out exactly when things are going to happen. Despite these facts, there are those who must push the envelope. For these courageous adventurers, we provide the following information in the hope that it speeds your journey.
HW 15 - NuBus Block Trans.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:HW - Hardware:HW 15 - NuBus Block Trans.sit 15 0 8K 12/07/94 NuBus Block Transfers - This Technical Note describes the sResource entries needed in a declaration ROM to inform NuBus masters when a board is capable of receiving or sending block transfers. In addition to normal long word transfers, the NuBus specification defines a number of block transfer transactions. In block mode transfers, the system arbitrates for the bus a single time and then performs a group of consecutive long word transfers before releasing the bus. The reduction in bus arbitration time can result in considerable gains in performance.
HW 14 - Macintosh SE-30.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:HW - Hardware:HW 14 - Macintosh SE-30.sit 1430 0 9K 12/07/94 Macintosh SE/30 - This Technical Note discusses the Macintosh SE/30, items of interest to developers, and sources for further information. Changes since April 1989. Corrected an error in the addresses of the video display buffers. The Macintosh SE/30 is a modification of the original Macintosh SE concept. The SE/30 combines the modularity of the original SE with the capabilities of the larger Macintosh IIx. Although the name implies that the SE/30 borrows many characteristics from the SE, there are actually substantial differences between the two machines, and this Note addresses some of those differences.

It also describes how system software uses a memory management unit (when available) to implement special caching options. Changes since October 1991. Described use of AppleTalk Transition Queue event, ATTransSpeedChange, when altering the 68040 cache state on the fly. This call must be issued so that LocalTalk can reevaluate its timers. Otherwise LocalTalk becomes disabled.
HW 05 - Byte Smearing.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:HW - Hardware:HW 05 - Byte Smearing.sit 05 0 5K 12/07/94 Byte Smearing - This Technical Note discusses a feature of the current Macintosh hardware which will not be supported in the future. Macintosh hardware developers and driver writers should be aware of this limitation as it affects current and future products.

If ADBReInit is called, the ROM version of the keyboard driver will be reloaded, and the RAM version of the driver with the patches will not be used. Therefore, it is recommended that ADBReInit not be called on the Macintosh SE until the problem is fixed. (There is no need to call ADBReInit.) This problem will not occur with the Macintosh II ROM version of the keyboard driver.

M.FL.ISO9660Extensions. Revised by - Brian Bechtel February 1994. Written by - Bryan Atsatt & Brian Bechtel July 1989. This Technical Note describes extensions Apple has defined to ISO 9660 in order to better support Macintosh file interchange. ISO 9660 is an international standard for formatting CD-ROM discs. This tech note is only important if you are a publisher of authoring tools for ISO 9660 discs, or are interested in details of how the Macintosh supports ISO 9660. Topics include - ISO 9660 compared to HFS, The directory record SystemUse field, The extension to ISO 9660, ISO 9660 Associated files and Version numbers in ISO 9660.
FL 35 - Which File System.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 35 - Which File System.sit 35 0 5K 12/07/94 Which File System is Active - This Technical Note discusses how to determine which file system a particular volume is running. Changes since June 1990. Removed text about IDs $0001-$0016 being AppleShare volumes; other file systems use this range too. Under certain circumstances it is necessary to determine which file system is currently running on a particular volume. For example, on a 64K ROM machine, your application (i.e., especially disk recovery utilities or disk editors, etc.) may need to check for MFS versus HFS. Note that this is usually not necessary, because all ROMs, except the original 64K ROMs, include HFS.

Due to the fact that a little bit is left unsaid, this paragraph is rather misleading. The two fields in question are vcbDrvNum and vcbDRefNum (referred to as ioVDrvInfo and ioVDRefNum in C and Pascal). PBHGetVInfo can be used to access these fields.

It also provides simple algorithms for searching both MFS and HFS volumes and discusses the problems with indexed search routines. Changes since October 1988. Includes information on PBCatSearch and notes the problems with indexed search routines. Source code examples have been added and revised. Thanks to John Norstad at Northwestern University for pointing out some of the shortcomings of the indexed search routines. Thanks to the System 7 engineering team for adding PBCatSearch.

This Technical Note offers an alternative function, ResolveAliasFileMountOption, which uses the previously undocumented FollowFinderAlias trap to resolve alias files only if their target is on an already mounted volume. Also included is an IsAliasFile routine for identifying alias files.
FL 29 - Problem With GetVI.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 29 - Problem With GetVI.sit 29 0 6K 12/07/94 Problem with GetVInfo - The high-level call GetVInfo (and its low-level counterpart PBGetVInfo) may return inaccurate results for freeBytes when running HFS. The high-level File Manager call GetVInfo returns the number of free bytes on a volume as one of its parameters. Since GetVInfo is really only glue that fills in a parameter block for you and then calls PBGetVInfo, the values returned from it are subject to the limitations (imposed for MFS) discussed in the File Manager chapter of Inside Macintosh Volume IV.

Problems with Communication Between HFS and C. Frequently, developers want to use both Macintosh file I/O and C file I/O. Developers who do this must keep in mind that they are combining two distinct file representations (the Macintosh and ANSI C). The only limitation on mixing HFS and C I/O functions is that they cannot be mixed on the same open file. There are three reasons why this cannot be done.

Generally, if a Macintosh has problems with a High Sierra disc, its because the disc in question doesnt really conform to the High Sierra specification.
FL 24 - ioPosOffset.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 24 - ioPosOffset.sit 24 0 4K 12/07/94 ioPosOffset - The Device Manager chapter of Inside Macintosh Volume II says that ioPosOffset is passed to and returned by Read and Write calls. It also says that After the read [or write] is completed, the position is returned in ioPosOffset Actually, ioPosOffset is not changed by either call. Also note that device drivers should only look at the dCtlPosition field of the DCE, and should not look directly at the ioPosOffset field of the parameter block. The Device Manager sets up dCtlPosition for the driver, taking into account both the ioPosMode and the ioPosOffset.
FL 23 - ioNamePtr.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 23 - ioNamePtr.sit 23 0 4K 12/07/94 ioNamePtr - It is very important to set ioNamePtr when making PB calls, even if you dont want those calls to return a name. Whenever Inside Macintosh indicates that ioNamePtr is either required for input or returns something, you must set ioNamePtr to either nil (if you arent using a name) or to point to storage for a Str255. If you dont explicitly set ioNamePtr, strange and unusual crashes may occur, depending on the machine/configuration your code is run on.
FL 22 - HFS Ruminations.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 22 - HFS Ruminations.sit 22 0 10K 12/07/94 Normally an application doesnt need to open working directories (henceforth WDs) using PBOpenWD, since SFGetFile returns a WDRefnum if the selected file is in a directory on a hierarchical volume and you are running HFS. There are times, however, when opening a WD is desirable (see the discussion about BootDrive).

FL 20 - File Sharing.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 20 - File Sharing.sit 20 0 9K 12/07/94 File Sharing - This Note describes modifications to the existing File Manager routines, PBGetCatInfo, PBHGetDirAccess, PBHSetDirAccess, PBHSetFLock and PBHRstFLock, when used on volumes prepared by Macintosh System 7 File Sharing. There are several differences between System 7 File Sharing and AppleShare 2.0.1. This Note describes what those differences mean when calling PBGetCatInfo, PBHGetDirAccess, PBHSetDirAccess, PBHSetFLock and PBHRstFLock on local volumes that return bHasPersonal AccessPrivileges to PBHGetVolParms.

Parts of the system (including the File Manager and the Finder) assume that if this fork exists, it will contain valid Resource Manager information. PBOpenRF was provided to allow copying of the resource fork of a file in its entirety, without Resource Manager interpretation. Do not use it to open another data fork.
FL 18 - Creating Files In.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 18 - Creating Files In.sit 18 0 4K 12/07/94 The AppleShare File Server allows the creation of drop folders. These are folders for which the user has the Make Changes privilege (write access), but not See Files (read access) or See Folders (search access). For an application to create a file in such a folder, the following procedure in this file must be executed in strict order.

Unfortunately, to do this check, CreateResFile uses a call that follows the Poor Mans Search Path (PMSP).
FL 16 - Caching.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 16 - Caching.sit 16 0 7K 12/07/94 Caching - This technical note describes disk and File System caching on the Macintosh, with particular emphasis on the high-level File System cache. Of the three caches used for file I/O, this is the one which could have the most impact on your program.
FL 15 - Blessed Folder.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:FL - Files:FL 15 - Blessed Folder.sit 15 0 5K 12/07/94 Blessed Folder - This Technical Note describes how to determine which folder on an HFS volume is the blessed folder, that is, the folder that contains both the System file and the Finder. Changes since January 1986, The information about how to find the Blessed Folder has been deleted from this technical note. The FindFolder function can now be used to find the Blessed Folder and is documented in Inside Macintosh Volume VI, pages 9-42 to 9-44. This note now includes information about how to bless a folder to the new system folder.

GPi is a software configurable serial input present on some machines. It is located at pin 7 on the DIN-8 serial connectors, and connects to the DCD input of the Z8530 Serial Communications Controller (SCC). Because DCD is monopolized by the mouse on the Macintosh Plus, GPi is not implemented on that machine. Other machines which do not support GPi include the Macintosh Classic and Mac LC. On these machines, pins 7 of the DIN-8 serial connectors are not connected.

You may get the idea when implementing device drivers that _PBClose is superfluous. After all, if you have a resident driver for a NuBus video board, the only time your driver is not needed is if the operating system is going away. It might seem that nothing important can happen after the operating system goes away, so why bother with _PBClose? Well, it turns out a lot can happen, and this Note tells you why it is important to implement a Close (_PBClose) routine.

Apple provides these calls to give developers a better way to help users make changes when they consider it appropriate. Abusive use of these calls is a sure way to guarantee that the Thought Police come after you to confiscate your Macintoshes, your stock of Mountain Dew, and your Technical Notes binder. This Note assumes familiarity with Inside Macintosh, Volume V, Graphics Devices.

Configuring Inodes.sit MacTNsDL AMUG 15.2:Files II:MacTNs:Apple Workgroup Server:Configuring Inodes.sit 0 6K 11/04/93 Configuring Inodes - This technical note documents methods for tuning/creating a UNIX file system with lower overheads in terms of inode allocation, which proves to be important in large size file systems by reclaiming disk space. The newfs command makes a Berkeley 4.2 UNIX file system (UFS) on the specified device file. The A/UX version of HD SC Setup invokes newfs when creating a UFS. Each file on the system is represented by an inode, which contains critical information about the file, including ownership, permissions, size, etc. The newfs command allocates disk space for inodes when the UFS is created.
