NAME

Inhibit: Inhibits access to a file system (V36)

SYNOPSIS

success = Inhibit(filesystem, flag)
D0 D1 D2

BOOL Inhibit(STRPTR,LONG)

FUNCTION

Sends an ACTION_INHIBIT packet to the indicated handler. This stops all activity by the handler until uninhibited (flag = DOSTRUE). When uninhibited (flag == FALSE), anything may have happened to the storage medium in the drive, or there may no longer be one.

INPUTS

filesystem: Name of device to inhibit (with ':'), e.g. "DF0:"
flag: New status. DOSTRUE = inhibited, FALSE = uninhibited

BUGS

The flag parameter should be DOSTRUE unless it is FALSE because legacy file systems may check if the flag value provided is identical to DOSTRUE, rather than a value which is not FALSE.

RESULT

success: Success/failure indicator
