UnAugmentAsterisk
Makes the *.* pattern return all files and subdirectory names for the long (OS/2) name space
Local Servers: nonblocking
Remote Servers: N/A
NetWare Server: 5.x, 6.x
Platform: NLM
Service: File System
Syntax
#include
void UnAugmentAsterisk (
int yesno);
Parameters
yesno
(IN) Specifies whether to return all files and subdirectory names for the long name space:
Remarks
The default behavior for opendir and readdir is to interpret a pattern of *.* to return only those file
and directory names that contain only one dot. Therefore, the pattern *.* guarantees that all files are
returned for the DOS name space only. Calling UnAugmentAsterisk allows you to use *.* to return
all file and directory names for the long name space as well.
NOTE: The name of the function refers to the fact that the high bit for the asterisk character in the
pattern is set by default. This function reverses this setting.
