PA_UpdateResFile

version 2003

PA_UpdateResFile (resfile)

The routine PA_UpdateResFile writes all changed resource data to disk and updates the necessary index and resource map.

This routine should be called to force "disk write" of modified or newly created resources.

It can be called every time a resource is modified or after many changes. Updating the resource file ensures that it will maintain its integrity in the event of a disk crash (just like the WRITE BUFFER command that flushes data).

Create three resources and update the file immediately.

   typedef struct {
      short   f1;
      short   f2;
      short   f3;
   }FOO, *FOOptr, **FOOhdle;
 
   FOO   aStruct = {1, 2, 3};
 
   // Add the resources...
   PA_CreateResource(resFile, 'FOO ', -1, (char *) &aStruct, sizeof(FOO));
   aStruct.f1 += 10;
   aStruct.f2 += 10;
   aStructf.f3 += 10;
   PA_CreateResource(resFile, 'FOO ', -1, (char *) &aStruct, sizeof(FOO));
   aStruct.f1 += 100;
   aStruct.f2 += 100;
   aStructf.f3 += 100;
   PA_CreateResource(resFile, 'FOO ', -1, (char *) &aStruct, sizeof(FOO));
 
   // ... update the file
   PA_UpdateResFile(resFile);
