- Hello everyone,
-
- Could someone please tell me exactly what an fRefNum is and how one
- obtains this mysterious number? I am looking at Inside Mac VI page 22-100
- at the SetupAIFFHeader call whose first argument is an fRefNum. I have
- looked through all the Inside Macs I can get my hands on and can't find
- any useful piece of information. I've also looked at THINK Reference an
- a few other places to no avail.
-
- According to the description at the bottom of the page, "The fRefNum
- parameter contains a file reference number for a file that is open for
- writing." But I can't find anywhere that says how you know what the file
- reference number is. Please forgive me if this is blazingly obvious.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Louise
