Synopsis
Module
DMSLFS
Function
TO FIND A SPECIFIED 40-BYTE FST ENTRY WITHIN THE FST TABLES FOR READ-ONLY OR READ-WRITE DISK(S).
Attributes
NUCLEUS RESIDENT, REENTRANT
Operation
DMSLFS CHECKS TO ENSURE THAT R1 IS NOT ZERO (A CALLING ERROR), AND INITIALIZES TO TEST FOR EITHER A READ-ONLY OR READ-WRITE DISK. THEN THE PARAMETER LIST IS CHECKED TO ENSURE THAT THE FILENAME AND FILETYPE ARE PRESENT (CALLING ERROR IF NOT), AND CHECKS TO SEE IF THE MODE-LETTER IS ALPHABETIC, AND IF SO WHETHER A MODE-NUMBER IS GIVEN. IF THE MODE IS ALPHABETIC, DMSLAD IS CALLED TO CHECK FOR A DISK WHOSE MODE-LETTER ADTM MATCHES THE PARAMETER LIST. IF THE MODE IS *-* OR EQUIVALENT (NOT ALPHABETIC), DMSLADN IS CALLED TO CHECK FOR ANY AVAILABLE DISK. AN ERROR RETURN FROM DMSLAD OR DMSLADN TRIGGERS A 'FILE NOT FOUND' RETURN FROM DMSLFS. ON A SUCCESSFUL RETURN, DMSLFS CHECKS TO MAKE SURE THE DISK FOUND IS LOGGED IN (AS EITHER READ-ONLY OR READ-WRITE OR IF DMSLFS WAS CALLED BY DMSSTT, OS READ ONLY). IF NOT, THE LOGIC CONTINUES AS DESCRIBED BELOW, WHERE THE GIVEN FST ENTRY WAS NOT FOUND ON THE DISK. IF THE DISK IS AN OS DISK, DMSLFS CALLS ROSSTT IN DMSROS TO VERFIY THAT THE DATA SET EXISTS AND THAT THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE DATA SET ARE SUPPORTED. UPON RETURN FROM DMSROS, A RETURN CODE OF 88 INDICATES THAT THE DATA SET WAS NOT FOUND AND DMSLFS INITIATES THE SEARCH AGAIN USING THE NEXT DISK IN ORDER. ANY OTHER ERRORS SUCH AS RETURN CODE 80 CAUSE DMSLFS TO EXIT IMMEDIATELY. A RETURN CODE OF 0 FROM DMSROS INDICATES THAT THE DATA SET WAS FOUND ON THE SPECIFIED DISK AND DMSLFS CONTINUES AS IT DOES WHEN A CMS FST IS FOUND. IF THE DISK FOUND BY DMSLAD OR DMSLADN IS LOGGED IN, DMSLFS CHECKS THROUGH THE VARIOUS FST HYPERBLOCKS IN CORE TO FIND A MATCHING FST ENTRY FOR THE FILENAME (IF GIVEN IN THE PARAMETER LIST) AND FILETYPE (IF GIVEN). NOTE - IF R1 WAS NEGATIVE AT ENTRY TO DMSLFS, SEARCHING FOR THE GIVEN FST RESUMES FROM THE POINT LAST SEARCHED, AS INDICATED BY THE ADTCHBA (CURRENT HYPERBLOCK ADDRESS) AND ADTCFST (CURRENT FST ENTRY DISPLACMENT) POINTERS IN THE ACTIVE DISK TABLE FOR THE GIVEN DISK. IF THE FILENAME AND FILETYPE ARE BOTH GIVEN AND MATCH EXPLICITLY, THE FILE IS DEEMED 'FOUND' IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY MODE-NUMBER IN THE PARAMETER LIST. IF EITHER (OR BOTH) WAS '*' IN THE PARAMETER LIST, HOWEVER, AND THE MODE-NUMBER WAS GIVEN, THEN THE MODE-NUMBER IN THE PARAMETER LIST MUST MATCH THE MODE-NUMBER IN THE FST ENTRY. THUS, FOR EXAMPLE, A CALL TO DMSLFS FOR "SOME FILE A5" WOULD CONSIDER "SOME FILE A1" (ON THE A-DISK) A MATCH EVEN THOUGH THE MODE-NUMBER IS WRONG. (THIS LOGIC IS PURPOSELY PROVIDED TO AVOID MISLEADING THE USER, SINCE YOU CANNOT HAVE TWO FILES ON THE SAME DISK WITH SAME FILENAME AND FILETYPE, BUT DIFFERENT MODE NUMBERS.) A SEARCH FOR "* FILE A5", HOWEVER, WOULD NOT CONSIDER "SOME FILE A1" TO MATCH, SINCE THE MODE NUMBER DIFFERS. (NOTE - THIS LOGIC IS NOW CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT CMS. THAT IS, IF THE FILENAME AND FILETYPE MATCH EXPLICITLY, THE MODE NUMBER NEED NOT BE CORRECT FOR A MATCH; BUT IF THE FILENAME AND/OR FILETYPE IS '*' AND THE MODE-NUMBER IS GIVEN, THEN IT MUST EQUAL THE FST MODE-NUMBER TO BE CONSIDERED A MATCH.) IF DMSLFS FINDS THE MATCHING FILE ON THE GIVEN DISK, IT RETURNS THE ADDRESSES OF THE ACTIVE DISK TABLE (ADT) AND THE FST ENTRY IN R0 AND R1 AS SHOWN IN EXIT CONDITIONS, AND REMEMBERS WHERE IT FOUND THE FILE IN THE ADTCHBA AND ADTCFST POINTERS IN THE ADT BLOCK. FST ENTRY NOT FOUND ON THE DISK IF THE FST ENTRY WAS NOT FOUND ON THE DISK JUST CHECKED, DMSLFS CHECKS THE MODE SUPPLIED IN THE P-LIST. IF IT WAS '*' (OR EQUIVALENT), DMSLADN IS CALLED AND THE NEXT DISK (IF ANY) IS CHECKED AS ABOVE FOR THE MATCHING FILE. IF THE MODE, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS ALPHABETIC, DMSLADN IS CALLED TO DETERMINE IF ANOTHER DISK IS AVAILABLE FOR CHECKING. IF SO, THE ADTMX EXTENSION-MODE-LETTER IS CHECKED TO SEE IF IT MATCHES THE MODE GIVEN IN THE PARAMETER LIST. IF IT MATCHES, THIS INDICATES THAT THE NEW DISK IS A READ-ONLY EXTENSION OF THE ONE PREVIOUSLY CHECKED, AND THE GIVEN FILE IS LOOKED UP ON THIS DISK. IF FOUND, SUCCESSFUL RETURN IS GIVEN POINTING TO THIS DISK AND THE FST ENTRY FOUND. IF NOT, THIS PROCESS IF REPEATED UNTIL A MATCH IS FOUND, OR UNTIL NO MORE DISK(S) WITH A MATCHING ADTMX LETTER ARE FOUND. DMSLFS (FSTLKP)
