Directory Entry Information APIs

Directory entry information APIs allow you to work with the directory entries for files and directories in hierarchical file systems. The directory entry information APIs are:

• Change Directory Entry Attributes (QHFCHGAT) changes the attributes of a specified directory entry for an existing file or directory.
• Close Directory (QHFCLODR) closes a specified directory that was opened using the Open Directory (QHFOPNDR) API.
• Open Directory (QHFOPNDR) opens the specified directory so its directory entries can be read.
• Read Directory Entry (QHFRDDR) reads one or more directory entries from a directory opened with the Open Directory (QHFOPNDR) API.
• Retrieve Directory Entry Attributes (QHFRTVAT) retrieves attribute information from a specified directory entry for a directory or file.
