OSErr PBGetEOFSync (
    ParmBlkPtr paramBlock
);

Parameter descriptions

paramBlock

A pointer to a basic File Manager parameter block.

function result

A result code.

DISCUSSION

The relevant fields of the parameter block are:

• ioCompletion

  On input, a pointer to a completion routine.

• ioResult

  On output, the result code of the function.

• ioRefNum

  On input, a file reference number for the file whose logical end you wish to determine.

• ioMisc

  On output, the logical end-of-file. Because ioMisc is of type Ptr, you’ll need to coerce the value to type LongInt to interpret the value correctly.
