Unlike stdio <code>FILE</code> streams, the <code>cupsFile</code> functions allow you to open more than 256 files at any given time. They also manage the platform-specific details of locking, large file support, line endings (CR, LF, or CR LF), and reading and writing files using Flate ("gzip") compression. Finally, you can also connect, read from, and write to network connections using the <code>cupsFile</code> functions.</p> <p>The <code>cupsDir</code> functions manage the platform-specific details of directory access/listing and provide a convenient way to get both a list of files and the information (permissions, size, timestamp, etc.) for each of those files.</p> <h2 class="title"><a name="FUNCTIONS">Functions</a></h2> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsDirClose">cupsDirClose</a></h3> <p class="description">Close a directory.</p> <p class="code"> void cupsDirClose (<br> <a href="#cups_dir_t">cups_dir_t</a> *dp<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>dp</dt> <dd class="description">Directory pointer</dd> </dl> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsDirOpen">cupsDirOpen</a></h3> <p class="description">Open a directory.</p> <p class="code"> <a href="#cups_dir_t">cups_dir_t</a> *cupsDirOpen (<br> const char *directory<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>directory</dt> <dd class="description">Directory name</dd> </dl> <h4 class="returnvalue">Return Value</h4> <p class="description">Directory pointer or <code>NULL</code> if the directory could not be opened.</p> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsDirRead">cupsDirRead</a></h3> <p class="description">Read the next directory entry.</p> <p class="code"> <a href="#cups_dentry_t">cups_dentry_t</a> *cupsDirRead (<br> <a href="#cups_dir_t">cups_dir_t</a> *dp<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>dp</dt> <dd class="description">Directory pointer</dd> </dl> <h4 class="returnvalue">Return Value</h4> <p class="description">Directory entry or <code>NULL</code> when there are no more</p> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsDirRewind">cupsDirRewind</a></h3> <p class="description">Rewind to the start of the directory.</p> <p class="code"> void cupsDirRewind (<br> <a href="#cups_dir_t">cups_dir_t</a> *dp<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>dp</dt> <dd class="description">Directory pointer</dd> </dl> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsFileClose">cupsFileClose</a></h3> <p class="description">Close a CUPS file.</p> <p class="code"> int cupsFileClose (<br> <a href="#cups_file_t">cups_file_t</a> *fp<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>fp</dt> <dd class="description">CUPS file</dd> </dl> <h4 class="returnvalue">Return Value</h4> <p class="description">0 on success, -1 on error</p> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsFileCompression">cupsFileCompression</a></h3> <p class="description">Return whether a file is compressed.</p> <p class="code"> int cupsFileCompression (<br> <a href="#cups_file_t">cups_file_t</a> *fp<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>fp</dt> <dd class="description">CUPS file</dd> </dl> <h4 class="returnvalue">Return Value</h4> <p class="description"><code>CUPS_FILE_NONE</code> or <code>CUPS_FILE_GZIP</code></p> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsFileEOF">cupsFileEOF</a></h3> <p class="description">Return the end-of-file status.</p> <p class="code"> int cupsFileEOF (<br> <a href="#cups_file_t">cups_file_t</a> *fp<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>fp</dt> <dd class="description">CUPS file</dd> </dl> <h4 class="returnvalue">Return Value</h4> <p class="description">1 on end of file, 0 otherwise</p> <h3 class="function"><span class="info"> CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5 </span><a name="cupsFileFind">cupsFileFind</a></h3> <p class="description">Find a file using the specified path.</p> <p class="code"> const char *cupsFileFind (<br> const char *filename,<br> const char *path,<br> int executable,<br> char *buffer,<br> int bufsize<br> );</p> <h4 class="parameters">Parameters</h4> <dl> <dt>filename</dt> <dd class="description">File to find</dd> <dt>path</dt> <dd class="description">Colon/semicolon-separated path</dd> <dt>executable</dt> <dd class="description">1 = executable files, 0 = any file/dir</dd> <dt>buffer</dt> <dd class="description">Filename buffer</dd> <dt>bufsize</dt> <dd class="description">Size of filename buffer</dd> </dl> <h4 class="returnvalue">Return Value</h4> <p class="description">Full path to file or <code>NULL</code> if not found</p> <h4 class="discussion">Discussion</h4> <p class="discussion">This function allows the paths in the path string to be separated by colons (UNIX standard) or semicolons (Windows standard) and stores the result in the buffer supplied.
