Synopsis

Module

       DMSACF (READFST)

Function

       FOR A READ-WRITE  DISK, TO READ ALL OF  THE USER FILE
       DIRECTORY INTO STORAGE; FOR A READ-ONLY DISK, TO READ
       IN ALL  OR PART  OF THE USER  FILE DIRECTORY,  AT THE
       CALLER'S OPTION; FOR AN O/S DISK, CONTROL IS RETURNED
       TO THE CALLER AFTER SUCCESSFUL RETURN FROM DMSACM.

Attributes

       TRANSIENT, REENTRANT

Operation

       DMSACF, TOGETHER WITH DMSACM, BRINGS INTO STORAGE
       ALL OR PART OF THE USER  FILE DIRECTORY FOR THE GIVEN
       DISK. IF  THE DISK IS READ-WRITE,  ALL OF THE  UFD IS
       MADE  RESIDENT;  IF  READ-ONLY, THE  QMSK  AND  QQMSK
       TABLES ARE NOT BROUGHT IN BY
       DMSACM, AND DMSACF CAN BRING  IN SELECTED PORTIONS OF
       THE FST
       ENTRIES, IF SPECIFIED.

       DMSACF DOES THE FOLLOWING:

       FIRST DMSACM  IS CALLED  TO READ IN  ITS PART  OF THE
       UFD. IF AN ERROR OTHER THAN 4 IS RETURNED BY READMFD,
       DMSACF PASSES BACK THIS ERROR  CODE TO THE CALLER AND
       EXITS  IMMEDIATELY.   IF DMSACM  WAS  SUCCESSFUL,  OR
       RETURNED   AN  ERROR-4   INDICATING   THE  DISK   WAS
       READ-ONLY, DMSACF CONTINUES. IF THE DISK IS AN O/S
       DISK, DMSACF EXITS IMMEDIATELY. AN 816 - BYTE
       BUFFER FOR THE FIRST FST  HYPERBLOCK IS OBTAINED FROM
       FREE STORAGE IF NEEDED, AND  AN 800-BYTE WORK AREA IS
       OBTAINED.

       THE FST  HYPERBLOCKS ON  DISK ARE  NOW READ  INTO THE
       WORK AREA, ONE  AT A TIME.  ALL NULL  FST ENTRIES ARE
       IGNORED; OTHER ENTRIES  ARE MOVED FROM THE  WORK AREA
       TO  THE  RESIDENT  FST  HYPERBLOCKS  IF THE  DISK  IS
       READ-WRITE, THUS RESULTING IN  COMPACTED DIRECTORY IN
       STORAGE OF ALL FILES.  IF THE DISK IS READ-ONLY, EACH
       FST ENTRY  IN THE  WORK AREA  IS CHECKED  AGAINST THE
       PARAMETER LIST PROVIDED
       TO DMSACF.   (IF ANY FIELD  IN THE PARAMETER  LIST IS
       '*' OR X'FF',
       THE FILENAME,  FILETYPE, OR  MODE NUMBER  IS ACCEPTED
       WITHOUT CHECKING.)
       THUS, FOR  A READ-ONLY  DISK DMSACF  CAN READ  IN ALL
       FILES, OR ALL '2' FILES,
       (AS IT DOES FOR THE S-DISK WHEN CALLED BY INITSYS) OR
       ANY CONDITIONS THAT SATISFY THE PARAMETER LIST.

       DMSACF GETS MORE HYPERBLOCKS FROM FREE STORAGE WHEN
       NEEDED AND  REFILLS THE  WORK BUFFER  FROM DISK  WHEN
       NEEDED, UNTIL ALL  FST ENTRIES HAVE BEEN  CHECKED AND
       MOVED INTO THE FST HYPERBLOCKS IF ACCEPTABLE.

       ALL  APPROPRIATE  COUNTS  IN THE  ACTIVE  DISK  TABLE
       (NUMBER OF  FILES, POINTER TO  LAST FST  ENTRY, ETC.)
       ARE INITIALIZED AS NEEDED.
