Unlocks a file.

OSErr PBHRstFLockSync (
    HParmBlkPtr paramBlock
);

paramBlock

A pointer to a basic HFS parameter block.

function result

A result code.

DISCUSSION

The relevant fields of the parameter block are:

• ioCompletion

  On input, a pointer to a completion function.

• ioResult

  On output, the result code of the function.

• ioNamePtr

  On input, a pointer to a pathname for the file to unlock.

• ioVRefNum

  On input, a volume specification for the volume on which the file is found.

• ioDirID

  On input, a directory ID.

Access paths currently in use aren’t affected.

If the PBHGetVolParmsSync function indicates that the volume supports folder locking (that is, the bHasFolderLock bit of the vMAttrib field is set), you can use PBHRstFLockSync to unlock a directory.

AVAILABILITY

Supported in Carbon. Available in Mac OS 8.1 and later when Carbon 1.0.2 or later is present.
