Establishes a local volume or directory as a share point.

OSErr PBShareAsync (
    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.

• ioVRefNum

  On input, a volume specification. This field can contain a volume reference number, a working directory reference number, a drive number, or 0 for the default volume.

• ioDirID

  On input, a directory ID. If ioNamePtr is NULL, then ioDirID is the directory ID of the directory that is to become a share point. If ioNamePtr points to a partial pathname, ioDirID is the parent directory of the directory to be shared.

The PBShareAsync function makes the directory specified by the ioNamePtr and ioDirID fields a share point.
