AddDosEntry

Add a DosList entry to the DOS Device list (V36)

Adds a device, volume or assign to the DOS Device list. Can fail if it conflicts with an existing entry (such as another assign to the same name or another device of the same name). Volume nodes with different dates and the same name CAN be added, or with names that conflict with devices or assigns. Do not access 'dlist' after adding unless you have locked the DOS Device list.

Note:

The DOS Device list does NOT have to be locked to call AddDosEntry().

An additional note concerning calling this from within a handler: in order to avoid deadlocks, your handler must either be multi- threaded, or it must attempt to lock the list before calling this function. The code would look something like this:

If AttemptLockDosList() fails (i.e. it's locked already), check for messages at your file system port (don't wait!), process the messages and try calling AttemptLockDosList() again.
