Getdir

   

Declaration:

Procedure Getdir (drivenr : byte;var dir : string) ;

Description:

Getdir returns in dir the current directory on the drive drivenr, where drivenr is 1 for the first floppy drive, 3 for the first hard disk etc. A value of 0 returns the directory on the current disk.

On LINUX, drivenr is ignored, as there is only one directory tree.

Errors:

An error is returned under DOS, if the drive requested isn't ready.
