Detailed Description

The struct is used to link file system specific file data structure fs_file, to the logical drive struct where the file is located. It is used as identifier for the directory in File Access API functions.

Note

The file is considered closed or uninitialized when both of its elements are NULL, and if both elements are set the file is considered to be open. If one element is NULL while the other is not, the directory is considered to be uninitialized.
