In the Inside Mac IV page 156 says that if ioFDIRIndex is negative, the file manager ignores ioNamePtr and returns information about the directory specified by ioDirID. I have assigned ioNamePtr pointed to a null string, ioFDIRIndex:=-1, and iovrefnum:=-1, I am not able to get the info about the directory or files specified by ioDirID. I am keeping getting and error -43 can anyone tell me what is wrong here?
What I really need to get is the parent dirID from the current dirID and the name of the current dirID with only knowing the current dirID and iovrefnum.
